Your private notes, files, and agents behind one trusted gate.
An open-source personal file space where you and trusted AI agents work from the same tree.

What is NoteGate?

NoteGate is a personal storage boundary for knowledge shared between a person and their AI agents. You manage a familiar file tree in the web app; connected agents use the same Space / Folder / Text / File model through MCP and REST.

• Keep Markdown, JSON, YAML, plain text, images, PDFs, and other files together.
• Read, edit, preview, search, and transfer content without maintaining a second agent-only store.
• Give each user-managed agent read or write access only to the spaces it needs.
• Sign in to the browser with Google SSO. REST and MCP access use bearer credentials.
• Work across responsive light and dark interfaces.
