Hello, I made an open-source simple tool to sync Apple Notes to a blog via Shortcuts and GitHub Pages.
The logic is pretty straightforward, but getting it to work was a pain. 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.
It's easy to set up, even for people who aren't super technical. Feel free to try it out or share it with friends. Let me know if you have any suggestions or run into any issues!
