Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Matcha as a direct, open-source alternative to Goodnotes and Notability. Finding a fully open-source iOS app is rare, but I wanted an AI-powered note-taking experience without being forced into a subscription ecosystem. Matcha gives you the premium iPad features you need for studies and work, combined with the total freedom and transparency of open-source.
congrats on launching! did you do any market research before deciding on open-source? my gut feeling is that most regular users don't care (or know what it means) that an app is open source, they are looking for a good product. pricing also seems pretty steep compared to, say, goodnotes. curious to hear your reasoning on these points.

@bengauss hi thanks for the comment! Its a good point on the customer base but I think my mindset was that I don't really believe in the scalability of a Pencilkit base for note taking apps due to natural limitations of the api, so this is more of a passion project for the ios dev community.
Can this create flashcards from the written notes? as its quite helpful for revision!

@nayan_surya98 yep! From any of your notes.
Hello forrest, I was curious about how this app works with AI(Claude, GPT, etc), so I entered the 'WELCOMEMATCHA' code in the Appstore, but it does not work. Is it still valid? Asking with AI and studying and taking notes is really fresh idea forrest!
Nice works!
