Sync and manage encrypted notes across Apple devices with built-in Model Context Protocol integration for AI assistants.

Pinto Notes delivers an Apple Notes-like note-taking experience for iOS and macOS, built on top of SwiftData and TextKit 2, that connects directly to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, and Codex. By exposing a streamable HTTP Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, external assistants can read and modify notes with full version tracking, one-tap undos, and visual attribution markers showing which AI authored specific edits. The app pairs native Markdown formatting, rapid sync, and versatile import capabilities with robust client-side AES-256-GCM encryption, ensuring personal notes remain secure while remaining context-accessible to everyday language models.
