## Why apple-notes-sync?

Apple Notes is great on your Mac and iPhone, but terrible for backups, version history, or migrating to Obsidian/Logseq.
Apple Notes is great for writing, but getting your notes *out* is painful. There's no export-all, no API, and no version history. If you work with AI agents or just want peace of mind, that's a problem.

Other exporters are one-shot scripts. This tool gives you **continuous sync**:
I built this because I needed to feed my Apple Notes to LLMs while working on another project. Manually exporting each note was a non-starter. Now my notes live in a Git repo, and any agent — Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, or whatever comes next — can access them instantly.

- **Automatic Git commits + push** — full version history of every edit
- **Orphan cleanup** — deleted notes disappear from the repo automatically
- **Hourly launchd scheduling** — set it and forget it
- **rclone integration** — Google Drive as a bonus backup layer
**What you get:**

- **Feed notes to AI agents** — point any tool at your GitHub repo and it has all your notes as context
- **Version history** — every edit is a Git commit; accidentally delete a note and it's one `git` command away, no digging through Apple backups required
- **Continuous sync, not a one-shot export** — schedule with launchd and forget about it
- **Orphan cleanup** — deleted notes disappear from the repo automatically, but tracked via git history
- **Folder mirroring** — your Notes folder structure is preserved exactly
- **rclone integration** — Google Drive as a bonus backup layer, and also useful for working with NotebookLM

> **Note**: This is a one-way export. Edits made to the Markdown files do not flow back to Apple Notes.
