The shortest version

This project turns manual Apple Notes exports into a repeatable local snapshot routine.

Keep the upstream exporter, then add scheduling, health checks, logs, metrics, and an optional local Web console around it.

What it is

A local-first macOS workflow for exporting Apple Notes on a schedule and keeping the workflow observable. The runtime config lives in config/notes_snapshot.env, so you can review where snapshots will land before the first run.

  • AI Diagnose for calmer operator explanations
  • Local Web API for token-gated same-machine browser/API workflows
  • Read-only MCP Provider for MCP-aware coding agents

Who it is for

  • People who already trust Apple Notes
  • Users who want recurring snapshots, not one-off exports
  • Anyone who wants status, logs, and a local control room

What it is not

  • Not a cloud service
  • Not a team collaboration product
  • Not a public OpenAPI or hosted control plane
  • Not a two-way sync engine
