Quill CLI

Export meeting notes and transcripts from the Quill Meetings macOS app.

Quick Reference

| Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | quill list | List recent meetings | | quill list --limit 50 | List more meetings | | quill list --since 7d | Meetings from last 7 days | | quill list --search "standup" | Filter by title | | quill export --latest --notes | Export latest meeting notes | | quill export --latest --transcript | Export latest transcript | | quill export "Meeting Title" --notes | Export by title | | quill export abc123 --notes | Export by ID (full or short) |

Preferred Export Order

When exporting meetings, use this priority:

  1. First: Try --note-title "Eric Binnion" (partial match finds notes prefixed with this)
  2. Fallback: Use --transcript if no matching note exists
# Preferred - matches notes like "Eric Binnion - Summary", etc.
quill export --latest --notes --note-title "Eric Binnion"

# Fallback if no Eric Binnion note exists
quill export --latest --transcript

Common Workflows

Get latest meeting notes to clipboard:

quill export --latest --notes --note-title "Eric Binnion" | pbcopy

Export transcript to file:

quill export --latest --transcript > transcript.md

Find and export specific meeting:

quill list --search "planning"  # Find meeting ID
quill export abc123 --notes --note-title "Eric Binnion"

Select different note template:

quill export --latest --notes --note-title "Product"
