I built a macOS app that uses Ghostty and fzy to fuzzy search over Apple Note titles. It is working quite well for me. https://github.com/emadda/hot-notes/

> Instead you should focus on creating notes that you are likely to revisit or likely to share. One interesting thing I have discovered: the interface matters just as much as the content. The faster you can recall notes, the more useful you find them, which makes it more likely you will write more notes. I also put answers in the titles of my notes which allows me to scan a list of previously solved issues. The combination of a vague yyyy-mm-dd.md title and just a file system UI makes recall harder. I have a fuzzy search app for Apple Notes that has been working well for me: https://github.com/emadda/hot-notes

I think the speed at which you can open previous notes matters. If it takes you 1 minute of scrambling in a GUI to find a previous note, you are less likely to read previous notes. And also less likely to write new ones as you know you’ll never visit it again. I have an app built on the fzy CLI and Ghostty terminal for Apple Notes.

I created Hot Notes to fuzzy search my Apple Notes folders and titles, it is working quite well for me. I think it could work well for your nested folders. https://github.com/emadda/hot-notes
