Compare
Eyrie vs everything else.
No app is right for everyone — including this one. These comparisons are written straight: what each tool is genuinely good at, where Eyrie wins, and the cases where you should stay exactly where you are. If a comparison says "stay with the other one," that's on purpose.

Mac note-takers
PKM & graph tools
The one thing they have in common
Every tool here can hold your notes. What Eyrie adds is an AI that can read them — semantic search, chat with citations back to the exact note, and edits that show up as a diff you approve before anything changes. All on native Markdown files that stay in a folder on your Mac. No lock-in, no subscription, BYO API key.
See it on your own notes.
Point Eyrie at any folder of Markdown — including an existing Obsidian or Bear export. 14 days free, $79.90 once.
