Desktap vs MCP Notes

The remote desktop doesn't require a VPN, or suck. It starts and stops itself via hardware-backed ephemeral sessions. We’ve rebuilt remote desktop geometry from the ground up to bring the full power of your Mac to your iPad and iPhone—without the lag, the bloat, or the security risks of a traditional VPN. -- Bougie Remote Desktop -- No VPN Required: Hardware-backed keys handle the handshake. It’s cleaner, faster, and actually secure. Ephemeral Sessions: The connection exists only when you’re in it. It wakes your Mac when you arrive and locks it down the second you leave. Native Geometry: We aren't just streaming pixels. We rebuilt the stack so your Mac finally feels like it belongs on a touchscreen.

MCP Notes is a Markdown note-taking app for iPadOS and macOS. macOS with built-in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and MCP server integration — enabling AI tools like Claude Code to semantically search and interact with your notes directly. The on-device RAG engine indexes your notes locally using vector embeddings, so you can find any note by meaning, not just keywords. The built-in MCP server exposes your notes to external AI assistants without sending data anywhere (available only on macOS). Features: - Shortcuts and Intelligence support - CommonMark Markdown editor with syntax highlighting - Tags, bookmarks, and wikilink navigation between notes - iCloud sync across all your iOS, iPadOS and macOS devices - Semantic search powered by on-device embeddings (for macOS version) - MCP server integration: connect Claude Code or any MCP-compatible AI tool to your notes (for macOS version) Open Source: MCP Notes is open source and licensed under MIT. The full source code is available on GitHub — contributions and feedback are welcome. https://github.com/sergeydi/MCP-Notes
