Known Issues

"[App]" would like to access data from other apps" warning

noteplan accesses NotePlan3's "internal" data at $HOME/Library/Containers/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/Data/Library/Application Support/co.noteplan.NotePlan3/Caches/note-cache.db and triggers a Privacy & Security alert. When called from the terminal it might say "Alacritty would like to access data from other apps" warning".

This will happen every time you start a new process. A dialog will pop up asking for access. You can give your terminal "Systems Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access" to circumvent the warning, but it does mean giving broad access also to other tools invoked through the terminal.

I'm still trying to figure out a better way to access specific application data.

Background

This is because we are trying to access another Application's container, and we are crossinga a TCC (Transparenency, Consent and Control) boundary).

TCC privileges fall into various groups, including:

1. Persistent, system wide
2. Persistent, per user
3. Transient, process lifetime The privilege to access other apps containers falls into that third group.

Since the executing process is the terminal, we can leverage the permissions of the process and give it Full Disk Access.

sketchybar

In case of sketchybar, we could give it full disk access, but since it's a long running process and will only ask once when you start or restart the service, the impact is not as big, if you leave it off (recommended) and press "Allow" once when sketchybar starts.

If you don't want to deal with popups, or giving SketchyBar "Full Disk Access", and if you only want to show the open todos for the current day, you can also use

lsappinfo -all info -only StatusLabel "co.noteplan.NotePlan3" | sed -nr 's/\"StatusLabel\"=\{ \"label\"=\"(.+)\" \}$/\1/p'
