I used ChatGPT to write this: osascript -e 'tell application "Notes" set allFolders to folders repeat with aFolder in allFolders set folderId to id of aFolder set folderName to name of aFolder set folderContainer to container of aFolder set folderContainerName to name of folderContainer log "Folder ID: " & folderId log "Folder Name: " & folderName log "Folder Container: " & folderContainerName log " " --check for nested folders if count of folders of aFolder > 0 then set nestedFolders to folders of aFolder repeat with aNestedFolder in nestedFolders set nestedFolderId to id of aNestedFolder set nestedFolderName to name of aNestedFolder set nestedFolderContainer to container of aNestedFolder set nestedFolderContainerName to name of nestedFolderContainer log " Nested Folder ID: " & nestedFolderId log " Nested Folder Name: " & nestedFolderName log " Nested Folder Container: " & nestedFolderContainerName log " " end repeat end if end repeat end tell ' Which for my account output this: ``` Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p6113 Folder Name: Blog posts Folder Container: iCloud

Nested Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p7995
Nested Folder Name: Nested inside blog posts
Nested Folder Container: Blog posts

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p698 Folder Name: JSK Folder Container: iCloud

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p7995 Folder Name: Nested inside blog posts Folder Container: Blog posts

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p3526 Folder Name: New Folder Folder Container: iCloud

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p3839 Folder Name: New Folder 1 Folder Container: iCloud

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p2 Folder Name: Notes Folder Container: iCloud

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p6059 Folder Name: Quick Notes Folder Container: iCloud

Folder ID: x-coredata://D2D50498-BBD1-4097-B122-D15ABD32BDEC/ICFolder/p7283 Folder Name: UK Christmas 2022 Folder Container: iCloud ``` So I think the correct approach here is to run code at the start to list all of the folders (no need to do fancy recursion though, just a flat list with the parent containers is enough) and create a model of that hierarchy in SQLite.

Then when I import notes I can foreign key reference them back to their containing folder.

I'm tempted to use rowid for the foreign keys because the official IDs are pretty long.
