Description
Append Apple Notes to daily journal files as Thino Memo entries in the Obsidian vault. Use when the user wants to "把 Apple Notes 加到 journal", "process Apple Notes", "sync Apple Notes to journals", or run the apple_notes_to_journal script.

Apple Notes → Journal Thino Memo

Process notes in Apple Notes/ directory and append their content to the corresponding daily journal files (journals/YYYY-MM-DD.md) in Thino Memo format.

Script Location

/Users/zhaoliang/LocalDocuments/vaults/vault/resources/scripts/apple_notes_to_journal.py

How It Works

For each .md file in Apple Notes/ (excluding the exported to obsidian/ subdirectory):

  1. Reads the file's birthtime (creation time) via os.stat().st_birthtime — Apple Notes have no frontmatter, so file creation time is the source of truth for date/time
  2. Strips the # heading prefix from the first line if present
  3. Groups notes by date and sorts within each date by time
  4. Appends to journals/YYYY-MM-DD.md using the Thino Memo format:
    • Single line: - HH:MM YYYYMMDD content
    • Multi-line: - HH:MM\n\tYYYYMMDD line1\n\tline2
  5. Skips entries already present in the target journal (dedup by time + first 30 chars)

Default Workflow

  1. Always preview first with --dry-run and review the summary count
  2. Run with --apply to actually write changes
  3. Original Apple Notes files are not modified or moved

Commands

Preview all changes

python3 /Users/zhaoliang/LocalDocuments/vaults/vault/resources/scripts/apple_notes_to_journal.py --dry-run

Apply all changes

python3 /Users/zhaoliang/LocalDocuments/vaults/vault/resources/scripts/apple_notes_to_journal.py --apply

Filter by date

python3 /Users/zhaoliang/LocalDocuments/vaults/vault/resources/scripts/apple_notes_to_journal.py --apply --date 2026-04-30

Custom vault path (rare)

python3 .../apple_notes_to_journal.py --apply --vault-path /path/to/other/vault

Behavior Guarantees

  • Idempotent: Re-running won't duplicate entries — dedup uses HH:MM + first 30 chars of content as signature
  • Non-destructive to existing journals: New entries are appended at the end of the file. Existing Thino Memos are preserved unchanged.
  • Non-destructive to Apple Notes: Original notes stay in place

When to Run

  • After exporting new notes from Apple Notes to the Obsidian vault
  • When the Apple Notes/ directory has untracked .md files (git status shows ??)
  • When user explicitly asks to sync notes to journals

After Running

Report to the user:

  • How many notes were processed
  • How many journals were updated
  • How many duplicates were skipped (if any)

Do NOT auto-commit the changes — let the user review and commit themselves.
