Fibery vs NotePlan: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery moves AI Connectors to free beta two weeks after preview, with MCP creation on the way.
Fibery's October 29 release moves AI Connectors from experimental to beta and calls them ready for general use. They are free for now, and Fibery says moderate usage may stay free, with a pricing decision due by year end. The release also adds a block menu and multi-block selection in rich text, per-screen URLs for Custom Apps, tab moves between desktop windows, and Fibery whiteboards in ChatGPT through the MCP server.
What is NotePlan?
NotePlan builds MCP into the app and takes Memo AI to the Mac
NotePlan 3.22 ships a built-in MCP server on the Mac, found under Help ▸ AI Connectors, that lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code find, read and update notes, tasks and the calendar. It replaces the earlier Node.js server, needs nothing installed, and works when NotePlan is closed. The release also adds iPhone Duo layouts, a Mac share extension and Siri that adds to existing notes. Memo AI arrived on the Mac the same day, recording meetings without a bot and syncing with the iPhone app, which gained split memos and speaker management in 1.3.1.
Fibery vs NotePlan: editorial side-by-side
Fibery
7.5PM
Fibery moves AI Connectors to free beta two weeks after preview, with MCP creation on the way.
◆ Current state
Fibery's October 29 release moves AI Connectors from experimental to beta and calls them ready for general use. They are free for now, and Fibery says moderate usage may stay free, with a pricing decision due by year end. The release also adds a block menu and multi-block selection in rich text, per-screen URLs for Custom Apps, tab moves between desktop windows, and Fibery whiteboards in ChatGPT through the MCP server.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated connectors and an MCP server that now handles code execution, files and whiteboards. Features are moving from preview to general use within weeks, and the weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates.
◆ Prediction
Fibery says MCP support for creating AI Connectors is coming, so expect that next. Connector pricing should settle by year end, most likely around sync frequency, since it names 5-15 minute syncs as the case that could change costs.
NotePlan
5.0PM
NotePlan builds MCP into the app and takes Memo AI to the Mac
◆ Current state
NotePlan 3.22 ships a built-in MCP server on the Mac, found under Help ▸ AI Connectors, that lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code find, read and update notes, tasks and the calendar. It replaces the earlier Node.js server, needs nothing installed, and works when NotePlan is closed. The release also adds iPhone Duo layouts, a Mac share extension and Siri that adds to existing notes. Memo AI arrived on the Mac the same day, recording meetings without a bot and syncing with the iPhone app, which gained split memos and speaker management in 1.3.1.
◆ Where it's heading
Both product lines are moving onto the same desk. The MCP server went from something a user installed to something the app contains, which keeps opening the notebook to outside software with less setup. Memo AI's move to the Mac puts capture beside the note app, and bot-free meeting recording gives it a reason to be open during work. Siri support in 3.21.3 and 3.22 shows the assistant surface extending to Apple's side as well.
◆ Prediction
Expect Memo AI and the main app to connect more directly, since they now share the Mac, and assigning tasks by speaker remains the obvious first link. The new MCP server is Mac-only in this release, so reaching iPhone is a question these entries leave open.
