I compiled from source, works nicely. You need to change the settings to "run locally" by default, rather than build an app.

#22What is the intended use for this ?
Notes app seem like an odd place to ask Google like questions.
Is it supposed to help me with writing long for text? Am I supposed to use it as a spell/grammar checker ?
This is not directly a question for your integration, but more of a general question for using local LLMs for long form text.

#23I used a macos shortcut to do the same thing. I'm running llamacpp locally on the mac and I just hit a keyboard shortcut to get the menu.

#24Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

Some people have years (or decades!) of text notes that would benefit greatly from summarization and LLM query.
Asking generic questions is probably a poor demo choice, but it shows the link to the LLM in context.

#26this looks cool. I have a request: I've been using the Notes app for my todo lists since mid-2020. I have one note per day, and I then break them up by quarter and year. e.g.: 2024 Q1 Monday, January 1, 2024: - [x] [XYZ] - Review pull request from [Person] - [x] Investigate error rates for [XYZ] in Sentry I look back through these documents for two reasons: 1. Right now, I have to go back through all of my notes from…
I love to read about this type of stuff. Have you blogged about or written about it in more detail here on HN?
Edit: I reworded my question because it was a bit vague.

I just watched this Tiago Forte video [1] on the new Google tool called NotebookLM. In the video he basically aswers the "what" of your question. Lots one can do with a boatload of notes you've kept locally, and your own sources that aren't scraped by a LLM.

#29I'm a big fan of this space and have been hacking on it too.
With a few tricks you can use LLMs or anything else you can call from a script, from anywhere in your OS via input capture and simulation, and clipboard. And it can be cross platform!
Here's the project, if it might interest anyone.

My todo list method? No, I've never written about it anywhere. It had never occurred to me that other people would find it interesting. I'll add it to the section of my todo list for future blog posts ;) (but seriously, that's where they go.)
