Sync Apple Notes to mini blog via Shortcuts

Hello Mac users! I made an open-source simple tool to sync Apple Notes to a blog via Shortcuts and GitHub Pages. Access it here: Moire | MOIRE LOG

The logic is pretty straightforward: Shortcuts post requests via Github API. However, Apple’s native Make Markdown from Rich Text in Shortcuts is a little buggy for Notes (even though iOS 26 officially supports “export as markdown” now).

A lot of the formatting just breaks, so I had to force the conversion by going from Rich Text to HTML to Markdown, manually matching class names. It was a tedious process, but it gets the job done.

A few things to note:

  • It currently supports uploading only one image per note.

  • Since Shortcuts are hard to version control and can only be shared via iCloud links, this is still an experimental setup.

  • The good news is it doesn’t need frequent updates once it’s running.

I think it’s not a good tool to write down some serious posts but very friendly to post random thoughts publicly.

It’s easy to set up, even for people who aren’t super technical. And it works on MacOS, iOS and iPadOS. Feel free to try it out or share it with friends. Let me know if you have any suggestions or run into any issues!

Apple Notes turning into a lightweight blogging system through Shortcuts is exactly the kind of nerdy automation I love. The idea of drafting in a familiar app and pushing it to a mini site without extra friction feels super clean. Webhooks plus a bit of formatting logic can go a long way. Honestly makes me rethink how complicated my own publishing workflow needs to be.
