Fibery vs NotePlan: at a glance
What is Fibery?
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
What is NotePlan?
NotePlan keeps opening its notebook to outside writers: plugins, MCP agents, now Apple Reminders.
Two product lines ship in parallel. Memo AI reaches 1.3 with redesigned summaries carrying richer formatting, speaker labels for conversations, iCloud sync across devices and font themes — the first release to make a recording's transcript legible as a conversation rather than a block of text. On the main app, 3.21.2 remains the most recent, adding a two-way Apple Reminders integration via @remind, Space backups with restore, and calendar boards grouped by time frame.
Fibery vs NotePlan: editorial side-by-side
Fibery
7.5PM
Fibery's MCP server can now upload local files, so AI assistants can attach screenshots and images.
◆ Current state
Fibery's October 22 release is small: rich text accepts multiple files at once, with new upload and upload-by-link options, and the MCP server lets an AI assistant upload files from the user's computer into file fields or rich text. It follows three heavier releases: AI-built custom integrations, Custom Apps as entity views, and a rebuilt AI agent.
◆ Where it's heading
Fibery is making AI the main builder and operator of the workspace: the agent, Custom Apps, AI-generated integrations and an MCP server that now handles code execution and files. The weekly cadence alternates big AI releases with quality-of-life updates like this one.
◆ Prediction
Expect the custom-integration preview to widen and the MCP server to gain more write actions; another large AI release is likely within a few weeks given the pattern.
NotePlan
5.0PM
NotePlan keeps opening its notebook to outside writers: plugins, MCP agents, now Apple Reminders.
◆ Current state
Two product lines ship in parallel. Memo AI reaches 1.3 with redesigned summaries carrying richer formatting, speaker labels for conversations, iCloud sync across devices and font themes — the first release to make a recording's transcript legible as a conversation rather than a block of text. On the main app, 3.21.2 remains the most recent, adding a two-way Apple Reminders integration via @remind, Space backups with restore, and calendar boards grouped by time frame.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is turning NotePlan into a surface other software writes into rather than a closed notebook: plugins became installable and then opened to the community, the MCP server gave agents write access to notes and tasks, and Apple Reminders now writes back rather than only feeding in. Memo AI is following its own arc in parallel — first capture anywhere, via Watch and CarPlay, then capture efficiently, via the smaller audio format, and now capture legibly, via speaker labels and structured summaries. iCloud sync is the piece that makes the two lines share a device story.
◆ Prediction
Expect Memo AI's speaker labels to become something the main app can act on — assigning tasks by speaker is the obvious next step given the @remind work — and the Reminders integration to leave beta. The plugin and MCP surfaces are where third-party capability keeps arriving.
