pinto-notes/pinto-notes

A notes app for iPhone and Mac that ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code and Codex can read and edit.
It looks and works like Apple Notes, and it imports your Apple Notes.
pintonotes.com  ·  On the App Store  ·  Formerly Amber Notes
Your notes, your iPhone and Mac, and every AI you use, all working on the same notes. Ask ChatGPT to plan a trip into a note, tick items off a checklist in Claude Code, and see it all on your phone a second later. Every change an AI makes is tinted with its name, keeps the version before it, and undoes with one tap.
## Works with
| App | How it connects |
| ChatGPT | Connector (OAuth). A ChatGPT plugin is in review. |
| Claude (web, desktop, iPhone) | Custom connector (OAuth) |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add or the Claude Code plugin |
| Codex | codex mcp add |
| Gemini CLI | Extension |
| Any MCP client | Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.pintonotes.com, OAuth 2.1 |
## Connect an AI in a minute
1. Download the Mac app and sign in with Apple or email.
2. Add the server to your AI:
ChatGPT or Claude: add a custom connector with the address https://mcp.pintonotes.com.
Claude Code:
sh
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http pinto-notes https://mcp.pintonotes.com
Or install the plugin, which adds a skill that tells Claude how your notes are laid out:
sh
claude plugin marketplace add pinto-notes/pinto-notes
claude plugin install amber-notes
Codex:
sh
codex mcp add pinto-notes --url https://mcp.pintonotes.com
Gemini CLI:
sh
gemini extensions install https://github.com/pinto-notes/pinto-notes
3. Approve it in Pinto Notes on your iPhone or Mac, and choose read only or read and edit.
Then try "find my Lisbon note and add a day in Sintra". The plugin keeps its old id, amber-notes, because renaming it would break existing installs.
## What it does
AI edits you can see and undo. Whatever an assistant writes is tinted and labeled with its name, and one tap undoes it.
Version history. Every change keeps the previous version, with who made it: you on iPhone, you on Mac, or which AI.
A note can also be an app. Ask your AI to turn a note into a small app, like a habit tracker you tick each day or a budget that adds itself up. The note's text stays underneath.
Apple Notes import on the Mac, and Evernote (.enex), Google Keep (Takeout) and Markdown or text imports on the Mac and iPhone, bring your notes over.
Sync between iPhone and Mac in about half a second.
Encrypted. Notes are sealed on your devices before upload. Who can open them, and how AI access works, is under Privacy and security.
Free and open source, MIT licensed.

## Features in detail
Apple Notes layout and behaviour. Folders, a note list grouped by date, pinning, search, multi-select, Recently Deleted. When in doubt, it does what Notes does.
Markdown underneath, formatted on screen. Headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, code, quotes, links. The markdown syntax stays out of sight.
Lists like Notes. Checklists (ticked items slide to the bottom), bulleted (), dashed (-) and numbered lists. Return continues a list, Tab nests it.
