      I'm building a script to read text files for todo tasks, and it seems as though the iOS Notes app doesn't have a file name when you hit the Send a Copy option within sharing. While I can likely handle this type of exception, I'm curious...

      Is there a way to read the default file name from an iOS note?

        @ian There is no real file names, a note is identified by its first line

          Thanks for replying. I've tested a couple of things but haven't had luck yet passing a file without first exporting the note, but it's not a deal-breaker so I haven't dug in too far yet.

          I've built a todo extension that will read my .py or .txt (or whatever) files from the share sheet and create reminders and tasks through ClickUp, so I can keep track of my project work a little more easily. I've never thrown my code up for review before, so if anyone is interested in taking a look, feedback is appreciated!
