Note Repo 1.2 shows the real title for YouTube links, lets you search with ⌘F, and trims the sidebar down to Today and search.

What's new

  • YouTube titles. Paste a YouTube link and you get the video title. It works for Shorts, youtu.be links and embed links too, and noterepo add does the same. If a video was removed or made private, the link stays as a plain URL instead of reading "- YouTube".
  • ⌘F searches. ⌘F puts the cursor in the search field, the same as ⌘K.
  • No more date picker. The sidebar has only Today and search now. Search results, ⌘D and noterepo://day/… links still take you to any day.

Install

Download NoteRepo-1.2.0-arm64.zip, unzip it, and drag Note Repo to your Applications folder. It runs on Apple silicon Macs. On an Intel Mac, build it from source.

Note Repo isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized, so the first time you open it, macOS says it "could not verify Note Repo is free of malware". Click Done, then either:

  • open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Note Repo, and click Open Anyway.

The README has the details, including what to do on a work laptop.

To use the CLI, link it into a folder on your PATH:

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s /Applications/NoteRepo.app/Contents/Resources/bin/noterepo ~/.local/bin/noterepo

It runs on the Node.js runtime inside the app, so you don't need Node installed.

Your notes stay in a SQLite file on your Mac. There are no accounts.
