  1. You can get at them with AppleScript. I wrote a tool for that a while ago: https://github.com/dogsheep/apple-notes-to-sqlite
  2. I built a tool for this a while back: https://github.com/dogsheep/apple-notes-to-sqlite I just tried it and it still works: uvx apple-notes-to-sqlite /tmp/notes.db # in another terminal while that's running uvx datasette /tmp/notes.db
