Free, open source, and web based alternative to Bear (Note taking app for apple devices). Bear is a beautiful, flexible writing app for crafting notes. It is exclusively available on apple devices. Koala is a cross-platform, open source alternative.

What the Community Said

Came for the Koala. Stayed for the flexible writing app. I'm an Android user though! So, when is the Android version coming out?

Hi Producthunt! I usually get an itch every once in a while to do a new small project. This time it was an open source alternative to Bear. Bear is an amazing app that I use everyday for my notes. I am always recommending it to everyone I know, but one barrier that my friends have to using it is that it is not available for android/windows. So I decided to do a small weekend project to make a free, web based, open source alternative! Let me know what you think :D
