Bamboo is a Markdown-first notes app for people who want a simple, portable workspace for ideas, documents, tasks, research, and personal knowledge. It combines a focused editor, collections, wiki links, web clipping, import/export, backups, and cross-device sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. AI is optional and controlled by you: connect supported providers, choose your model, and draft, rewrite, summarize, or brainstorm inside your notes.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Bamboo because I wanted a notes app that feels simple and focused, but still powerful enough for long-term knowledge work.
A lot of note-taking tools either lock your content into a proprietary system, feel too heavy, or add AI in a way that takes over the writing experience. Bamboo takes a different approach: your notes stay in Markdown, so they remain portable, readable, and easy to back up. You can write quick notes, long-form documents, tasks, research notes, meeting notes, reading highlights, and personal knowledge in one workspace.
The AI features are optional and under your control. Bamboo Pro lets you connect supported AI providers, choose the model you want, and use AI to draft, rewrite, summarize, or brainstorm directly inside your notes.
Bamboo is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with Web Clipper support, collections, wiki links, import/export, backups, and cross-device sync.
I’d love to hear how you manage your notes and knowledge today, and what you’d like Bamboo to support next. Thanks for checking it out!
