TinyCld vs Fire Notes

TinyCld puts your whole office in one quiet app — mail, real documents, spreadsheets, files, calendar, and contacts, together and yours. No ads, no algorithm, no infinite scroll. Just the tools you actually use every day. WHAT'S INSIDE • Mail — Threaded conversations, folders, and search. Tracking pixels are blocked and external images load through a server-side proxy, so senders can't see your IP or know when you opened a message. • Docs — Real .docx documents on your phone. Format, comment, and collaborate with headings, lists, tables, and suggesting mode. • Sheets — Spreadsheets that actually work. Formulas, pivots, and .xlsx round-trip, right from your pocket. • Drive — Files with versioning, thumbnails, link sharing, and role-based permissions. Yours, not the cloud's. • Calendar — Shared calendars, recurring events, RSVPs, and reminders. A week that looks like a week. • Contacts — A shared directory with favorites and notes, in one quiet place. YOUR CLOUD, YOUR RULES TinyCld is open source and self-hostable. Run it on your own server in about fifteen minutes, or use a hosted instance. Either way, you keep the keys. OPEN STANDARDS, NO LOCK-IN Mail syncs over IMAP and SMTP. Calendars over CalDAV. Contacts over CardDAV. Files over WebDAV. Documents and spreadsheets round-trip as .docx and .xlsx. Keep using Apple Mail, Calendar, and Finder — or Word and Excel — alongside if you want, and walk away with everything any time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No analytics. No tracking pixels. No data mining. When you self-host, nothing leaves your server. The app does what you ask, and nothing else. ONE APP, ONE LOGIN Switch between mail, docs, sheets, and files without bouncing between apps or tabs. One place for the work you do every day. FREE FOREVER $0 per user, no seat counting, no upsell. Open source under AGPL.

Fire Notes is a private notebook for writing, scanning paper, and dictating by voice - with one unusual feature: you can burn a note. Real fire, rendered live on your screen - the paper catches, curls, chars and falls away as ash. When the flame goes out, the note is gone. It's oddly satisfying. It's also the point. WRITE ANYTHING • A fast, beautiful editor with rich text, checklists, headings and highlights • Choose your paper and your handwriting — from clean type to a looping script • Photos, shelves and pinned notes on a board you can rearrange by hand • Everything stays searchable, right up until you let it go LET IT GO • Burn a note in a moment, or hold for the full cinematic ceremony • Blow on the microphone to light the flame — yes, really • Burn-after timers: write something tonight, let it release itself tomorrow • Every burn leaves an ember in Ashes — proof something was released, without the words SCAN YOUR PAPER • Point the camera at a receipt, bill or letter — Fire Notes finds the edges, straightens the page and files it • Every scan is read on your device, so the words inside are searchable. Find a receipt by what it says, not by what you named it • Scans live in their own shelves — Receipts, Bills, Documents — separate from your notes • And when a document has done its job, shred it. The same fire, for paper you're finished with PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your notes and your scans live on your device and in your own iCloud, never on our servers • Face ID app lock, plus a separate lock for the notes that matter most • No account. No tracking. No ads. ALSO IN THE BOX • Dictate a note out loud with on-device speech recognition • On-device AI to fix, rewrite or reshape what you wrote — nothing is sent away • Export a note as text or PDF when you decide to keep it after all FIRE NOTES+ A one-time purchase. No subscription, ever. It unlocks the document scanner, voice dictation, the AI writing tools and clean, watermark-free exports. Buy it once and it's yours, on every device you sign in with. The notebook itself stays free. Write as much as you like. Burn as much as you like. Write it down. Let it go.
