I don't see that it formats it. the first version from claude was in html, and then it said it cannot do markdown so it said it would do it in text, but there is no formatting
and then it said
Got it — the newlines are getting collapsed regardless of what I send, which points to the extension itself, not my formatting. Every line break I sent is being flattened into one paragraph when it lands in Notes, so no amount of rewording the content will fix it — this is a limitation of the "Read and Write Apple Notes" tool's write path.
Two honest options: either you paste the content into the note manually in the Notes app (which will actually respect line breaks and headings), or we can try wrapping paragraphs in explicit <br>/<div> tags to see if the underlying AppleScript bridge respects those instead of \n. Want me to try the <br> approach once, or would you rather just paste it yourself at this point?
Thanks for testing this out and sharing it! Formatting has actually always come out clean for me, so I can't confirm the problem myself. Sounds like experiences might vary depending on the note or setup, though — good to know. Thanks for such a detailed comment, really appreciate it.
