Codex 3.0 by OpenAICodex can now build, test & debug on autopilot
5.0 (38 reviews)
Novi doesn't lock you to one AI. Codex connects over MCP with no API keys and no cloud, so Codex users get the same local read/write access to their notes β and can switch AI anytime without losing their knowledge.
XcodeDevelop, test, and distribute apps for all Apple platforms
5.0 (197 reviews)
Building a native macOS app meant Xcode was the only real choice. SwiftUI previews and the built-in Instruments profiler made it possible to ship a polished, performant note-taking app as a solo developer.
GitHubHow people build software
5.0 (615 reviews)
Every line of Novi Notes was built on GitHub. Version control, issue tracking, project boards β GitHub is the infrastructure that makes solo indie development manageable. When you're building a full macOS app alone, having a reliable backbone for your entire workflow is everything.

ObsidianA versatile writing app tailored to your thinking
4.9 (165 reviews)
Obsidian proved that your notes don't need to live on someone else's server. That local-first philosophy is at the core of Novi Notes β your data stays on your Mac, period. We wanted to bring that same data ownership with a Notion-style block editor and zero-config AI integration via MCP. Obsidian showed the way.
NotionThe all-in-one workspace

Notion redefined how I think about notes β blocks, structure, and organized workspaces. Novi Notes' block editor exists because Notion proved that structured editing is the future. We took that inspiration and went local-first with native AI integration. Thank you for setting the bar.

Claude by AnthropicA family of foundational AI models
5.0 (875 reviews)
Anthropic created MCP, the open protocol Novi is built on β so Claude was the natural place to start. Connect once and Claude reads and writes your notes locally on your Mac: no API keys, no cloud. I also lean on Claude Code daily while building Novi.
