Notes Plus — Apple Notes, but Markdown and local

Notes Plus is a free, local-first alternative to Apple Notes. Every note is a Markdown file on your Mac — your data stays yours.

Added July 26, 2026 · Last analysed September 2, 2026 · via StackScope Discovery · also on Hacker News

StackScope records what new websites are built with, the week they launch. Most we find ourselves, by watching public internet infrastructure for brand-new sites; the rest come from Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. We crawled this one for its tech stack and scored it for launch readiness: DNS, security headers, SEO basics. This page is what we saw on 2 September 2026; the live site may have changed since.

Every technology below links to its own page: which other new sites launched with it. Vendors and agencies watch those pages with Stackdar and hear about new adopters the week they ship, from £15 a month.

Notes Plus — Apple Notes, but Markdown and local is missing several launch fundamentals. Visible gaps: missing several security headers, incomplete legal pages, and incomplete email security.

The site is hosted on DigitalOcean in the United States. Our crawler found 5 technologies on this site, covering analytics, DNS providers, os, and servers. The stack includes Cloudflare Web Analytics, Namecheap DNS, and nginx.
