Use this to separate personal vs work notes, production vs development data, or synced vs local-only content. The "On My Mac" account is especially useful for development and testing because it never syncs to iCloud, so experiments stay local. ## Account Discovery ```bash # List all configured Notes accounts osascript -l JavaScript -e ' const Notes = Application("Notes"); Notes.accounts().map(a => a.name() + " — " + a.notes().length + " notes, " + a.folders().map(f => f.name()).join(", ") ).join("\n"); ' ``` ## Environment-Based Configuration ```typescript // src/config/environments.ts interface NotesEnvConfig { accountName: string; defaultFolder: string; autoSync: boolean; description: string; } const ENVIRONMENTS: Record<string, NotesEnvConfig> = { production: { accountName: "iCloud", defaultFolder: "Production", autoSync: true, description: "Live notes synced across all devices via iCloud", }, staging: { accountName: "iCloud", defaultFolder: "Staging", autoSync: true, description: "Test notes visible on other devices for QA", }, development: { accountName: "On My Mac", defaultFolder: "Dev", au...
