NoteCove - Notes, tasks, and AI — offline-first, no SaaS bill.

by•
Local-first notes and tasks that sync through your own cloud storage that you already trust. Agent accessibility via NoteCove's CLI and MCP. Ability to make NoteCove accessible to remote VMs where your agents run. Semantic search, configurable kanban boards, LaTeX math formatting, document history, Google Docs style comments on notes (which your agent can see and respond to via MCP/CLI) and more!

I wanted a notes and tasks app that I could use no matter where I worked. SaaS solutions wouldn't always work because of whatever policies my company might have. So, having worked on Google Docs, and Dropbox Paper, I knew how multiplayer editing worked, so I figured: they're always going to have some kind of cloud drive thing (Google Drive, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc.), I'll just make it sync using CRDTs on that! With the dawn of AI agents, it's also become an excellent working surface to work with agents so things don't get left in chats, or put someplace I'll never find them again.

I see offline first, I upvote. Curious, under what license do you offer this product? Congrats on the launch :)

@gurbax_ It's free to use. Not open source -- mostly just because I didn't want to deal with open source related things. My plan is that I don't expect to ever charge for local only because my ongoing costs are just development, not SaaS hosting costs and everything that goes with it. If at some point, there wind up being features which require SaaS or other things which cost me money ongoing, those features will be extra.

I like this, congrats Drew! agent comments on your own notes is wild! when the agent leaves a comment, where do most users reply from. in the comment thread (forces async)? re-prompt in chat (loses the anchor)? @-mention back into the note? best of luck for your launch!

@hiyamojo I usually just respond to the agent's response in the comment thread. You do have to tell the agent, `dropped comments` or `responded in comments` and then it fetches the new comments and goes on.

The license question is a good one because “local-first” and “no SaaS bill” still leave open questions about source access, redistribution, and long-term control.

@jamesmali It's not open source. Mostly because I just don't want the headache of running an open source project. I do this because I needed it.
