A beautiful notes app. Your AI can open it too. Pinpal Notes is a clean, simple place to write on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Folders, notes and checklists, and nothing else. When you want, the AI you already use, like Claude or ChatGPT, can connect and work in the same notes. JUST A PLACE TO WRITE Write, add a heading, tick a box. Folders on the first page, with a picture if you like. Headings, lists and checklists from one floating bar, and never any markup. A photo or a PDF on the note it belongs to. Star and archive. A home-screen widget for your latest notes. What is not here: no databases, no blocks, no pages inside pages, no templates, no AI buttons, no AI rewriting your words. There is no AI inside the app at all. YOU AND YOUR AI, IN THE SAME NOTES It writes, you tick: ask Claude for a barbecue shopping list for eight. It lands in Shopping, and you tick it off in the store. You write, it reads: jot down your thoughts on the kitchen. Weeks later, ask "What did I decide about the worktop?" It keeps your lists current: say "add dish soap to the grocery list" and it adds to the list you already have. You both edit: it writes a running plan, you note how each run went, and next week it adjusts the same note. WORKS WITH THE AI YOU ALREADY USE Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports connectors (MCP). Add Pinpal Notes as a connector and sign in. Only the AI you choose can reach your notes; every connection is listed under Account, and you can revoke one at any time. YOUR NOTES ARE YOURS Kept on servers in the EU (Amsterdam). No ads, never sold, never used to train AI. The only AI that sees them is the one you connect. PRICING Try everything free for a week, then one monthly subscription for unlimited notes. No ads.
