# Cimanote
> Cimanote is a note-taking app (notes, two-level notebooks, tags, web clipper, OCR scan, voice notes, real-time collaboration) with a Knowledge Engine that synthesizes what you know across notes. It has a built-in MCP server at https://mcp.cimanote.com so AI assistants can search, read, and create notes on the user's behalf (Cimanote Pro).
## Plans
- Free: unlimited notes, notebooks and tags, full-text search, and the web clipper. Any note exports to Markdown or HTML.
- Pro, $6/month or $60/year: the Knowledge Engine, real-time collaboration, offline editing, voice notes, photo scan, the MCP server, and whole-notebook or whole-library ZIP export.
- Every new account starts with 30 days of Pro, no card required.
