MCP Notes vs Apex Voice Notes

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

Apex Voice Notes helps you capture meetings, conversations, and voice memos, then turn them into useful written outputs. Record audio on your iPhone, transcribe it, and generate clean summaries, action items, follow-up emails, task lists, and speaker-labelled transcripts that make conversations easier to follow. Apex is designed for real meetings where speed, clarity, and shareable notes matter. Use Apex Voice Notes to: - Record meetings and voice memos. - Import audio from Files, iCloud, Google Drive, or your phone. - Transcribe multilingual conversations and generate multilingual outputs. - Generate meeting summaries and action items. - Create a quick "Brief Me in 90 Seconds" version. - Format speaker-labelled transcripts so speakers are easier to follow. - Copy, share, or export outputs. - Save recordings locally on your device. Apex is especially useful for managers, reps, consultants, teams, and teachers - anyone who needs meeting notes without spending the afternoon rewriting them. Recordings are stored locally on your device unless you choose to transcribe, export, import, or share them. When you transcribe, your audio is uploaded to the Apex backend and processed with OpenAI transcription services.
