Gravity
Gravity is a personal note-taking app for capturing and reviewing short thoughts on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. It stores notes in one chronological stream, with the newest at the top; older notes move down as new ones are added, and users can bring useful notes back to the top. Notes support search, Markdown, checklists, tags entered as text prefixes, archiving, and export to JSON or Markdown. The apps work offline and store notes locally; iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions can optionally sync through the user’s iCloud account. A companion macOS command-line tool can search, add, edit, archive, import, and export notes, including for scripts and AI agents. Gravity is designed for individual note capture and review rather than shared team workspaces or structured project knowledge bases.

Barside
Barside is a free desktop productivity app that brings together notes, tasks, reading, meetings, community spaces and AI tools. Notes support links, maps, drawings, kanban boards, tables and charts, and can be imported from Notion, Obsidian or Evernote. Checklists appear on a task board with due dates and reminders. Articles and newsletters go into a reading inbox for highlighting. Community and team spaces include chat, polls, shared notes and files. Video meetings include screen sharing and live captions; screen recordings can be added to notes and edited into captioned clips. An AI assistant and scheduled agents use accounts from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or OpenRouter, and changes can be undone. Barside connects to Claude Code and Cursor through MCP. The app also includes a password vault, clipboard history and system-wide search. Notes are stored locally and work without an account.

TaskNote
TaskNote is a note-taking app with a kanban board and reminders, built for one person rather than a team. Notes have rich formatting (headings, checklists, tables, columns, images, highlights) and are stored as Markdown, so they open anywhere. Any note can be turned into a task or attached to a kanban card; reminders fire desktop notifications at the time you set. Full-text search, a command palette, version history, trash, split view with up to six notes side by side, and built-in templates (shopping list, daily plan, brain dump, meeting notes and more). Import from Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Simplenote and Markdown; a Chrome extension clips web pages into notes. The Windows app keeps everything in a local file, runs without an account and works fully offline. The web version syncs with end-to-end encryption: the key never leaves your device and the server stores only ciphertext. Free plan with no time limit; a one-time Lifetime licence on Windows instead of a subscription.
