Notesnook vs Fibery
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Notesnook and Fibery — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Notesnook vs Fibery: at a glance
What is Notesnook?
Notesnook keeps a weekly desktop patch rhythm after its October localization push.
Notesnook, the end-to-end encrypted notes app, ships desktop and mobile releases every week or two, with notes kept on its blog. October opened with localization: desktop v3.4.9 added language switching and mobile v3.4.14 translated the app into 11 languages. Since then the releases are fixes, the latest being desktop v3.4.13 on 10 November, whose GitHub notes only point to the blog.
What is Fibery?
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
Notesnook vs Fibery: editorial side-by-side
Notesnook keeps a weekly desktop patch rhythm after its October localization push.
◆ Current state
Notesnook, the end-to-end encrypted notes app, ships desktop and mobile releases every week or two, with notes kept on its blog. October opened with localization: desktop v3.4.9 added language switching and mobile v3.4.14 translated the app into 11 languages. Since then the releases are fixes, the latest being desktop v3.4.13 on 10 November, whose GitHub notes only point to the blog.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.4 line has settled into maintenance: sync reliability, backup visibility, search parsing and reminder scheduling. Localization was the last feature beat, and nothing since signals a new one.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.4.x patches on both platforms; the entries don't show what the next feature release will be.
Fibery
6.3PM
Fibery puts MCP setup in one settings page and speeds up entity views and formulas.
◆ Current state
Fibery's November 5 release is quality-of-life: keyboard filters in search, more actions on whiteboard entity cards, faster entity pages and batched formula updates. Fibery MCP now has its own settings page with one-click Claude and ChatGPT connections and ready commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. AI Connectors reached free beta on October 29.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery alternates big AI releases (AI agent, Custom Apps, AI-built integrations) with polish weeks. Making MCP setup a first-class setting shows it expects outside agents to work in Fibery as much as its own.
◆ Prediction
The pricing decision on AI Connectors is due by year end; MCP-based connector creation is still the open item from October.
