1617823309 I_kwDOJHON9s5gbgZN 8 Increase performance using macnotesapp RhetTbull 41546558 closed 0     1 2023-03-09T18:51:05Z 2023-03-14T22:00:22Z 2023-03-14T22:00:21Z NONE  

Neat project! You can probably increase performance using my python interface to Notes, macnotesapp, which uses Scripting Bridge and bulk queries for much better performance than AppleScript.

Another related project is PyXA which uses Scripting Bridge to access Notes (and many other apps) and can return all the notes at once as opposed to calling AppleScript for each note.

macnotesapp allows you to access multiple accounts and folders as well.

```python from macnotesapp import NotesApp

NotesApp() provides interface to Notes.app

notesapp = NotesApp()

Get list of notes (Note objects for each note)

notes = notesapp.notes() note = notes[0] print( note.id, note.account, note.folder, note.name, note.body, note.plaintext, note.password_protected, )

print(note.asdict())

```

Notes can live in folders. These relationships should be exported too.

It's going to shell out to osascript as seen in: - #1

I'm going with that option because https://appscript.sourceforge.io/status.html warns against the other potential methods:

Apple eliminated its Mac Automation department in 2016. The future of AppleScript and its related technologies is unclear. Caveat emptor.

But osascript looks pretty stable to me.

Option that doesn't write to the database at all, it just outputs all the notes to stdout as newline-delimited JSON.

I'm using ChatGPT to figure out enough AppleScript to get at my notes data.
