Visual Markdown notes workspace with built-in AI and a local MCP server
Acres is a visual Markdown notes workspace for AI agent tooling on macOS and Windows. Its local MCP server lets compatible AI tools work with your notes, while built-in AI supports your own provider keys or local models with reviewable edits and undo. Arrange notes as cards on an infinite canvas, connect ideas and organize them with sections, tags and properties. Notes remain plain Markdown files in your own local folder. A developer-source CLI is also available. Try Acres for 14 days without an account or payment details. Ongoing editing requires a $59 early-adopter lifetime license for local use or Plus at $9/month with Sync and Publish.
