Rook

Rook is a native Mac notes application tailored for developers, programmers, and AI enthusiasts who frequently copy, paste, and manage code snippets, prompts, and AI outputs. Its core strength lies in seamlessly integrating with AI tools like Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and others through an open-source MCP Server, allowing users to save content directly from these sources into Rook’s organized inboxes. Designed to prioritize privacy and speed, Rook runs locally on your Mac, eliminating the need for cloud storage or signups, ensuring that your sensitive code remains private. Its rich features include syntax highlighting for over 17 programming languages, markdown rendering, and support for rich text and code blocks, making it an ideal workspace for developers who value efficient, clutter-free note management for their coding projects and AI interactions.
