What is Harbor?
Harbor is a private, cross-platform second brain — a modern take on what Evernote used to be. It keeps your notes, notebooks, tags, tasks, and reminders in one place, on every device, and it works fully offline.
You can capture almost anything: typed notes, scanned documents, photos, web clips, audio recordings, and handwriting. Harbor runs OCR on your attachments, so search finds words inside photos and scanned PDFs — not just in the text you typed.
A few things make Harbor different:
- You own your data. Export everything as HTML or Evernote ENEX, any time. If you ever stop paying, your account goes read-only — but export always works.
- Optional encryption. Lock a sensitive note or notebook with zero-knowledge encryption. We truly can’t read it — which also means it drops out of OCR, search, and AI access. Your call, note by note.
- Genuinely native apps. Real SwiftUI apps on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, a native Windows app, a native Android app, and an offline-first web app. No Electron.
- No built-in AI. By design. Harbor is open — API, CLI, and an MCP server at launch — so you can connect the AI you already pay for. See Bring Your Own AI.
- Personal, never enterprise. No teams, no upsells, no ads, no tracking.
Harbor is one simple plan: $9.99 a month or $99 a year, with a public price-lock promise. You can start free, see the apps on the download page, and if you’re coming from Evernote, start with Switching from Evernote.
