EverFree

EverFree is an open-source, GitHub-backed note-taking application designed as a privacy-focused alternative to Evernote. It stores notes as plain Markdown files in a private GitHub repository, syncing across web, macOS, and mobile. The application features an integrated AI writing assistant that reads the active note to continue writing, rewrite selections, perform web searches, and generate images using the user's own Gemini or OpenRouter API keys.

Lab Verdict

EverFree is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a free, private, and customizable note-taking workspace backed by GitHub instead of proprietary servers. Its Evernote import feature and native macOS DMG make it highly accessible. The main limitation is that users must configure their own GitHub account and bring their own API keys (Gemini or OpenRouter) to utilize the AI features.
