Apple Notes kept crashing, so I vibe coded my own
By Noemi Titarenco
Every heavy Apple Notes user eventually hits the wall: too many notes, and the app crashes when you open it. So I vibe coded Tenote, my own replacement. It's a minimal notes app with zero visual clutter, a plugin system, and all your data in plain markdown files, so Obsidian or an AI agent can read your notes too. It's open source, and while the demo was a little buggy, the newest release works very well.
