What it does
06Search everything
Full-text search across all your notes and folders, fast — it reads the Notes database directly instead of driving the Notes app.
Read a note
Your AI gets the plain text of a note to summarise, quote or work with.
Create and append
Make a new note or add a line to an existing one. Goes through the Notes app, so iCloud sync stays healthy.
Recent and by folder
List notes edited in the last N days, or everything in a folder.
One-click connect
Connect Claude Desktop or Cursor from the app, or copy the command for Claude Code. A status screen shows which permissions are on.
Never destructive
No deleting, no rewriting old content. Locked notes stay locked — NotesBridge reports them as locked and does not read them.
Just ask your AI

Private by design
03Runs on your Mac
Your notes stay on this Mac. NotesBridge reads them locally and only passes a note to an AI app when that app asks for it on your behalf. It goes online only to check your license and, if you allow it, for updates.
No lock-in
Results stay in normal files you can open anywhere.
Small and fast
Built in Swift for macOS. Dark Mode, VoiceOver, keyboard first.

FAQ
06Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep the app. Updates for version 1.x are free.
Why does it need Full Disk Access?
macOS protects the Notes database. NotesBridge needs Full Disk Access to read it, and opens it read-only. The app shows a step-by-step guide and a button that opens the right System Settings page.
Can it delete or change my notes?
No. It can only create new notes and append text to existing ones. It never deletes notes or rewrites what is already there.
What about locked notes, images and tables?
Locked (password-protected) notes are not read. Attachments such as images are not included, and checklists or tables come through as plain text.
Does it send my notes anywhere?
NotesBridge itself sends nothing. When your AI app asks for a note, NotesBridge gives it to that app on your Mac; what the AI app does next is covered by that app's own privacy policy.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes, on up to 3 Macs. Try it free for 7 days; if you buy and change your mind, email us within 14 days for a full refund.
