Noatery Desktop

Noatery is the local-first work ledger for you and your agents — one durable, searchable record of what actually got done.

You run real work all day. Your AI agents run dozens of sessions a week. What they finished lives in scroll-back, chat history, and memory — never in one place. Noatery is that place: a single local record where both your work and your agents' work land, with clear attribution.

ONE LEDGER, TWO WAYS TO WRITE TO IT
- You capture finished work in seconds with Quick Add and a global hotkey
- Agents write to the same ledger over MCP — create, search, update, and export entries
- Every entry carries a source, so you can filter to human only, agent only, or all

MCP-NATIVE ON MAC
Noatery ships with an MCP server that reads and writes the same local database the app uses. No separate API, no sync layer, no account. Install once, add a config block to your AI client, and every agent session logs alongside your own entries. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.

CAPTURE WITHOUT FRICTION
- Quick Add window opens from anywhere via global hotkey
- Log for today, yesterday, or any picked date
- Inline #tags, plus inline edit and delete

REVIEW WHAT MOVED
- Today view for a day-level record
- Week view with an activity timeline, top tags, and weekly totals
- Full-text search across every entry, human and agent alike

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
- Local-first: entries live on your device by default
- No account required to start
- Export to plain Markdown by date range or tag — readable in any editor, no lock-in

BUILT TO FEEL CALM
Light, dark, and system appearance. Launch at login. Optional weekly reflection reminder. Generous, quiet design that never feels like a dashboard.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Buy once. No subscription, no cloud add-on, no rented access to your own history. The MCP server is included and open source.

Noatery is personal software — a private work ledger for your own record. It is not a team workspace, and it does not require a hosted cloud.
