NotesOllama – I added local LLM support to Apple Notes (through Ollama)

Hacker News

This lets you talk to local LLMs in Apple Notes. I saw Obsidian Ollama ( https://github.com/hinterdupfinger/obsidian-ollama ) and thought it was handy, but I'm too lazy to migrate away from the Apple ecosystem, so I quickly hacked this together. I tend to use Notes as a scratchpad for prompts, so it's nice to do some quick inference without leaving the app. Notes doesn't really support plugins so I'm using the macOS accessibility API for reading selections and then stream responses using the clipboard (not ideal but it works).
