EdgeEver is a modern, open-source notes workspace. It brings back the familiar, high-efficiency three-pane experience from classic Evernote, while providing an open data architecture, native AI Agent synergy, and flexible self-hosted deployments.
The summary below is based on the latest README, architecture documentation, and codebase structure in the edgeever repository.
1. Flexible Deployment: Cloudflare Serverless & Docker
EdgeEver supports two modern self-hosting options from the same codebase:
- Cloudflare Serverless Deployment: 100% free serverless architecture running entirely within Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2 free tiers (accommodating ~150,000 short notes and ~50,000 images) with zero server bills and zero maintenance.
- 1-Line Docker Self-Hosting: Official container images hosted on GHCR, deployable via
curl -fsSL https://edgeever.org/install.sh | bash on your VPS, NAS, or home server with scalable storage for millions of notes and large attachments.
Break free from commercial “2-device login limits” with a self-hosted API that synchronizes across all your devices:
- macOS Desktop App: Electron + Rust sidecar + SQLite local data service for instant local performance, offline editing, and full-screen focus mode.
- iOS Native App: Built with pure SwiftUI (iOS 17+), published on the App Store, integrating TipTap EditorBundle and local SQLite sync via GRDB.
- Android App: Available on Google Play and signed APKs on GitHub Releases, featuring offline capture and share-sheet clipping.
- Web Clipper Extension: Available on Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and Firefox Add-ons for clipping articles, selections, and bookmarks.
- Web / PWA: Installable as a Progressive Web App in modern browsers with offline drafts and local synchronization queue.
3. Classic Three-Pane Layout, Dual View & Focus Mode
- Classic Three-Pane: Notebook tree, note list, and main editor with zero learning curve.
- Rich Text / Markdown Dual View: Switch seamlessly between TipTap rich text and Markdown source on desktop.
- Unlimited Nesting & Batch Operations: Deeply nested notebooks, drag-and-drop reorganization, and multi-note batch move or merge.
- Revision History: Automatic version tracking with instant review and rollback.
4. Native AI Agent Synergy & In-Editor Multi-Model Integration
- Remote MCP Endpoint: Built-in Model Context Protocol endpoint and stdio bridge authorizing Antigravity, Claude Code, and Codex to read, summarize, and organize notes, connecting seamlessly with Notion databases and Feishu Bitable.
- In-Editor Multi-Model AI: Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, and custom compatible endpoints for summarization, proofreading, translation, and action item extraction.
- One-Click Styled Rich Copy: Converts Markdown into beautifully styled HTML with inline CSS, ready to paste directly into Substack, Medium, or newsletters.
- Mermaid Diagrams & KaTeX Math: Native rendering for architecture diagrams, sequence charts, and LaTeX equations while preserving editable source code.
- PDF Preview & Universal Attachments: Inline PDF document previews alongside Office files, archives, audio, and video attachments.
- Single-Note Export: Export individual notes to Markdown, HTML, or PDF formats in one click.
- Client-Side Image Compression: Silently compresses images in the browser before upload (saving 50%-90% storage).
6. Data Sovereignty, Multi-Account Workspaces & Lossless Migration
- Isolated User Workspaces: Single instance supports multiple independent user accounts with isolated data and MCP tokens.
- Lossless ZIP Backup & Restore: One-click export including Markdown, Front Matter, nested hierarchies, attachments, and revision history for cross-instance recovery.
- Smooth Migration Tools: Built-in migration scripts and step-by-step guides for Evernote (ENEX / evernote-backup), Memos, Notion, and Flomo.
