notes-recover

your Apple Notes never really die

What You Get • Install • How It Work • Ecosystem

notes-recover is a forensic-grade reader for Apple Notes. Recover deleted notes, browse the raw NoteStore, and ship audit-ready bundles. Nothing leaves your machine.

🤝 Sister repo: want a prevention-side workflow that schedules backups before notes go missing? See notebackup — the Apple Notes backup control room (path-aware exports, launchd scheduling, health checks). notebackup covers the before; notes-recover covers the after. Together they cover the full Apple Notes lifecycle on macOS.

Recover, browse, prove. NoteStore is just SQLite if you know where to look.

What You Get

Surface	What
`notes-recovery cli`	Walk NoteStore.sqlite. Recover trashed and orphan notes.
`case review skill`	Bounded Q&A over a single case root, no hallucinations.
`agent plugins`	Drop-in for Claude, Codex, OpenClaw — case in, summary out.
`proof bundle`	Every claim ships with the path, hash, and snippet.

[!IMPORTANT] Local-first by default. No silent telemetry. No cloud round-trip. Your data stays on your machine until you explicitly ship it somewhere.

Install

bash

git clone https://github.com/xiaojiou176-open/notes-recover.git
cd notes-recover
# follow the per-stack quickstart in INSTALL.md or docs/

Three commands. No curl | sh. No login. Read what you run.

Install break? Open your favorite agent and say "Read AGENTS.md and bootstrap notes-recover for me." Agent fix own brain. Long version: docs/.

How It Work

The repo is seven layers — exactly the seven commits in git log. New work goes in as small named PRs. No 50-file mystery commits.

Layer	What
`chore: scaffold`	License, governance, hygiene gates, CI scaffolding.
`feat(core)`	The primary engine. The reason notes-recover exists.
`feat(modules)`	Packages, adapters, services, plugins. The second floor.
`feat(contracts)`	Schemas, configs, public boundaries. Other code talks here.
`test:`	Receipts. Everything in this layer must run.
`feat(ops)`	Scripts, infra, CI helpers, build glue.
`docs:`	Public docs surface. The pretty face.

git log reads like a building floor plan. Look once, know the whole shape.

Ecosystem

notes-recover lives in the yard family: seven yards. one philosophy: structured input, structured output, structured proof.

Repo	What
switchyard	model & agent runtime switch board
browserclickyard	your AI clicks, your browser obeys
notes-recover (you here)	your Apple Notes never really die
dealyard	let prices fight, you sit and watch
docyard	docs site in, markdown out, no scraping by hand
fileyard	messy folders in, organized library out
proofyard	every claim ships with its receipt

Cross-family taste: BeamMe · BrewMe · OpenVibeCoding · proofyard.
