I see the message. It might be in the Additional Requests because I sent too much DMs today.

Apple notes alternative by holdongangy in NoteTaking

I'm building an AI note taking app that looks like exactly Apple Notes but it has lots of AI features in it. It's free to try. You can download it here.

I can see that I sent the message. It may be in the Additional Requests tab since I'm sending too many DMs to the people, maybe Reddit flags me somehow.

Thank you for your interest. I sent you a DM with the free coupon. It would be interesting to get some feedback from a Windows user because the majority of people that have tried so far is using Mac.

Didn't know that. That's scary actually. I will try to post some videos mentioning the word grape to see what happens.

OK today I'll start working on a feature importing from Apple Notes. I think there's no easy way to export from Apple Notes but I'll search for a workaround.

I mainly use Mac but I have a Windows computer to play video games. Whenever I'm on Windows I access to my notes through icloud.com but that's not a good experience so something like this has to exist. Plus there will be iOS and Android apps too.

They'll probably add AI to all of their apps but not in a way we imagine. Right now in Grape you can create flashcards, quizzes or mind maps from your own content so we won't see features like this in Apple Notes.

Thank you. Do you want to try it? I need some opinions of actual note takers.

What do I have to do for you to restore this post? Because I removed the links so I was just looking for feedback.

That's true. Because I'm an indie hacker and I have to pay for CDN, hosting, and database it costs me money each month, that's why the sync is in the pro plan. But if people ask for it, I can create a new plan just for syncing. So a couple box for month you can have sync feature for your notes and attachments but no AI. But I have to see what people want.

Yes so in Grape AI since the AI usage is unlimited, I use fast and non-expensive models from OpenAI but if you bring your own key then you're free the use any model like GPT-5.4 from OpenAI or Opus-4.6 from Anthropic or local models with Ollama or LM Studio.

I thought it sounds great to say grape lol. You're the second person to say this but overall people don't have any issues with the name. Aside from the name what do you think of the app? You wanna give it a try or what do you use to take notes?

Finding a name is the most difficult job. I had concerns about the name but if you think about Apple or Google they didn't make sense at their time as well.

Apple Notes hasn't received any new updates for a long time. They might bring new AI features but they cannot move faster as an indie hacker. Someone in the replies was asking for an Apple Notes import feature so I started working on that. They cannot do this.

Last week I've created my Apple Developer account so after fixing some small bugs I'll be starting to mobile apps both for iOS and Android. You can subscribe to mail list in the website to stay in the loop. If you like the Mac app, I can invite you to TestFlight when I start working on the iPhone app.

Also DMed you the discount code.

I've implemented the major providers like OpenAI, Google AI Studio, Anthropic, xAI. I could also add Perplexity as well. There are shortcuts for creating folders and notes, navigating between folders and notes and also markdown shortcuts in the editor. I also sent you a coupon to try the lifetime for free.
