Foxlore – subscription-free notes app with powerful search, genuine privacy
We are a very small team of indie researchers/developers building Foxlore, a macOS/iOS note-taking app (Markdown and LaTeX for math) that is designed with the following core values in mind:
- Notes stay on your devices (with optional iCloud sync), not on any servers you don't control - Powerful search functionality over note content and its attachments (including photos, Voice Memos recordings, PDFs, Calendar events, Maps pins) using on-device AI models only - Subscriptions-free: at launch, users purchase the app once and own all current and future features across platforms.
We're close to launch and are looking for beta testers for the macOS version and would really appreciate honest feedback from those of you who use apps like Evernote, Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, or Notion.

What works well for HN is raw and direct, with zero production values. Skip any introductions and jump straight into showing your product doing what it does best. Voiceover is good, but no logos or music.
