Comparison - Notes and docs app

Winy vs Craft

Craft is a docs app that your AI tools can read and write; Winy is an infinite canvas where your agents run live beside your notes.

Craft is a notes and documents app for Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows and the web, with nested pages, whiteboards, an AI writing assistant, real-time collaboration and an MCP connection for tools like Claude Code.

Winy is a native infinite-canvas notebook for Mac, iPad and iPhone where real agent sessions such as Claude Code and Codex live as cards next to your notes, Pencil ink and images.

Both can put your notes in front of an agent, but from opposite sides: Craft lets an agent elsewhere reach into your documents, while Winy brings the agent session onto the board so you watch it work beside what you wrote.
