The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Apple Notes, Photos and Find My as Native Linux Apps (Omarchy/Arch) · score 8.0

  iCloud for Omarchy provides native Linux (Arch/Omarchy) apps for Apple Notes, Photos, and Find My, sharing a single sign-in via a D-Bus daemon and session client. Notes sync bidirectionally with Markdown files, Photos and Find My use GTK4, and all apps expose scriptable CLIs with JSON output. It fills a real gap for Linux users embedded in Apple's ecosystem, with thoughtful security and packaging.

• Show HN: Bloom – an org-mode compatible Android app for managing notes and tasks · score 7.3

  Bloom is a native Android Org-mode app that edits plain .org files in a user-chosen folder, acting as a mobile companion for Emacs users. It stands out for its non-destructive custom org parser that guarantees byte-identical round-trips, org-capture style templates, home-screen widgets, and Orgzly-compatible search backed by SQLite FTS5. Solid engineering and detailed documentation make it a credible file-first alternative to proprietary note apps.

• Show HN: BraiNOTES, handwritten notes on your lecture PDFs in a browser tab · score 7.3

  braiNOTES is a browser-based handwritten note-taking app that integrates PDFs and whiteboards, designed for lectures. It features pen pressure, multiple tools, local-first storage, and a bridge server for AI agents, offering a compelling alternative to native note apps with strong technical execution.

• Show HN: Most feature complete Apple notes MCP bridge · score 6.8

  An MCP server and CLI that lets AI agents read and edit Apple Notes on macOS with native formatting, reading directly from the Notes database and writing via the private NotesShared framework. It uniquely preserves rich formatting, handles iCloud sync, and includes a one-click agent setup wizard, making it the most complete Apple Notes bridge available.
