Amber Notes in short
- Amber Notes is a free, open-source notes app for iPhone and Mac that ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex and Incredible can search, read and edit, with your approval.
- It works like Apple Notes: folders, pinned notes, checklists, tables and a note list sorted by date.
- On the Mac, it imports your Apple Notes with their folders, and leaves Apple Notes unchanged.
- It has a built-in MCP server, so AI apps connect to it directly, without a plugin or a server of your own.
- Incredible, the AI assistant from incredible.one, connects the same way as any other app that supports MCP.
- You approve each AI app in Amber Notes and choose read only, or read and edit. You can disconnect any of them at any time.
- When an AI changes a note, Amber Notes shows what changed, with Undo, and keeps the previous version in the note's history.
- Notes sync between iPhone and Mac through the cloud, and are stored as markdown.
- The Mac app (macOS 26 or later) is a free download from ambernotes.app. The iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store.
- The code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
