Import files from command line?

Hi -

I’ve written a script that converts my kindle highlights into markdown files. I would like a way to automate importing them into Bear. Is there some way I can do that from the command line? My script is in Swift f that matters.

Try:

#bash
open "Path/FileName.md"

(Set Bear as Default App for .md files.)

Or manually use Bear’s import Notes function to bulk import your “kindle highlights markdown files”

I’m not sure the command line is the best way to import your highlights.
If you have a folder of markdown files with attachments (images) I suggest using File > Import From > Markdown Folder, otherwise you can use File > Import Notes....

I’m trying to automate it though – using the GUI is a non-starter.

I see, You can try to automate using Shortcuts by reading the content of the file and creating new notes with those.
