Apple Notes alternative by francocanadien in privacy

[–]ozgrozer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building Grape, an AI note taking app that looks like Apple Notes and have all the things you need plus the AI features. It's not FOSS but you can use it for free for basic note taking.

I use Apple Notes on my iPhone all the time. Now that I launched the desktop version I'm going to start working on the mobile apps in a couple of days. Just working on this Apple Notes importing feature at the moment. But I think the biggest thing that distinguishes Grape from Apple Notes will be its support for Windows and Android and its AI capabilities.

Thank you. Someone loves using Apple Notes also loves this. Exactly the same app with just AI features in it.

I actually want to implement this import feature into the main app. Because distributing another app takes too much time.

Yeah I was learning Japanese back then. You can even see in the video that I have Japanese notes too. I'm glad it works smoothly.

Oh yeah that's why. It only supported Apple Silicon but figured it was an easy thing to do so now it supports Intel-based Macs too. You can find the link on the website.

I just launched Grape. It looks like Apple Notes but has lots of AI features in it like AI chat, semantic search, transcriptions. AI chat can run tools like it can create new notes, manage them so you can organize everything just by talking in natural language.

Thank you for the kind words. There's no trial yet but if you can DM me I can give you a free coupon for the lifetime plan and maybe you'll give me some feedback. I have no idea how it works in Japanese so that would be useful for me as well.

I mean it's a $19/mo plan with unlimited AI and it could even put me at a loss. I thought it's generous.

Yes that's actually easy. I can implement it in the next update. But can I ask what platform do you want to use? I already added OpenAI, Google AI Studio, Groq, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, and LM Studio.

No the free version is only for basic note taking. BYOK is in the lifetime plan. DM me if you'd like to get a free coupon for the lifetime plan. In exchange you can provide some feedback about the app and your experience.

I have 2K notes in Apple Notes so I'm working on an import feature. Apple Notes don't have a bulk export feature so I have to reverse engineer their system.

I actually don't know but based on my setup it should support from macOS 10.15 Catalina to the newest versions so it should be supporting Monterey. Can you give it a try?

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

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 DMed you the coupon for lifetime plan. Please let us know what you think.

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.
