MCP Notes vs Bulletin

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

Bulletin is an infinite canvas for anything you can imagine — mood boards, mind maps, plans, habit trackers, or a home for everything you keep meaning to get to. Add blocks, arrange them however you like, and make every one of them look exactly the way you want. BLOCKS TO BUILD WITH • Image — photos and animated GIFs, with a built-in cropper • Text — rich text in any font on your device • Shape — rectangles, diamonds and circles, with text inside for diagrams • Line & Arrow — snap to blocks and keep following them as they move, with customizable heads at either end of an arrow • Link — paste a URL for a preview card, or embed the live site right on your board • Drawing — sketch with Apple Pencil on iPad, and view it on every device POWERFUL PRO BLOCKS • Todo List — nest tasks as deep as you like, and drag them between blocks to build your own Kanban • Progress Bar — a simple, satisfying visual indicator • Recurring Tracker — progress or checkmark style, for habits, chores and anything that repeats • Calendar Tracker — a beautiful calendar heatmap • More on the way MADE TO BE YOURS • Style it block by block — board background, fonts, colors, padding, corner radius, borders, shadows, rotation. Nobody should be locked into one design. • A real infinite canvas — built natively for speed, so your board can grow as large as you want • Search — find any block from anywhere in the app, and choose which blocks are searchable. Boards and blocks appear in Spotlight too, and open right where you left them. • Folders — organize boards into folders, nested as deep as you need • Scenes — save named views of a board and jump straight back to them • Light and dark — pick your appearance and design for both; your colors are saved separately for each SYNC AND SHARING • iCloud sync — design on your Mac and pick it up on iPad or iPhone, right where you left off • iCloud sharing — invite people to collaborate on a board • Yours alone — everything lives in your own iCloud. No accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Works offline. Bulletin is free: unlimited boards, unlimited basic blocks, and up to 5 Pro blocks at a time.
