About

Rook is a native Mac notes app for the code you write, paste, and keep around. Built for anyone who copy-pastes code, prompts, snippets, or AI outputs. Fast, free, local, and private. Syntax highlighting for 17+ languages, rich text, code blocks, and markdown rendering. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Gemini CLI can save into Rook through the optional, open-source Rook MCP Server. Each AI gets its own inbox. No signup. Everything lives on your machine.
