PandaNote

Notes your coding agent can actually write to

A markdown notes app where Claude, Codex and Cursor read and edit your documents directly over MCP — not by copy-paste into a chat box.

Most AI notes apps just put a chat box next to your notes

You still do the copying. Here the agent holds the document itself — the same one open in your editor.

What that gets you

It writes your daily notes

A scheduled task can open a note every morning, carry yesterday's unfinished items forward, tick off what the commits show as done, and leave the rest for you — as real checkboxes you can click, not a wall of text.

It reads what you already wrote

Point an agent at a spec or a design doc and it reads the document itself. No pasting, no truncation, no stale copy sitting in the chat context.

It edits in place

Updates go through incremental sync rather than replacing the whole document, so an agent editing one section will not clobber the paragraph you are typing in another.

You stay in control

Everything the agent does shows up in the same note you have open, live. If you do not like an edit, it is a normal document — undo it.

A real block editor underneath

Markdown in, markdown out, losslessly in both directions.

Headings & rich text

Six heading levels, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code and links.

Nested to-do lists

Checkboxes that indent into sub-tasks, up to eight levels. Nesting follows relative indentation, so two spaces or four both mean one level down.

Code blocks

Fenced blocks keep their language, and survive a round trip through markdown unchanged.

Tables

GFM tables, including literal pipes inside cells, escaped the way GitHub does it.

Mermaid diagrams

Flowcharts live as editable source, not pasted images — an agent can rewrite a diagram the way it rewrites a paragraph.

Math

TeX expressions rendered with KaTeX, kept as source so they stay editable.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Obsidian or Notion?

The difference is who can write. In Obsidian or Notion an AI assistant only sees whatever you paste into a chat box. Here your agent connects over MCP and works on the documents directly — reading a spec, ticking a checkbox, appending a section. Everything else you would expect (markdown, blocks, folders, search, a desktop app) is there too.

Is it markdown underneath?

Yes, and the round trip is lossless both ways. Import a markdown file and you get blocks; export and you get your original formatting back, including the exact indentation you used on nested lists.

Which agents can write to my notes?

Any MCP client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor. One command to install — see the MCP page for the full tool list.

Where can I use it?

The web app, the desktop app on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the iOS app. Same account, same documents everywhere.

Do I need an API key?

No. Sign in with an email code. You can plug in your own provider later if you prefer.
