What is Beaver Notes?
Beaver Notes is a native note-taking and personal workspace app for macOS that helps users capture ideas, organize writing, and manage notes without requiring an account. It is designed for people who want a local-first workflow, so notes stay on the device by default and remain available offline. The app supports Markdown-based writing and offers familiar organization tools such as folders, tags, and note linking for building structured collections of information. It also includes locked notes for protecting sensitive content inside a personal notebook setup. Beaver Notes is available across multiple platforms, which can make it useful for users who move between desktop and mobile devices while keeping a privacy-focused workflow. Published by Daniele Rolli, it fits best for personal knowledge management, study notes, writing drafts, and general productivity work.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Beaver Notes is a legitimate note-taking app with behavior that matches its purpose. It stores and manages the notes you create, so the main privacy consideration is the sensitivity of the information you choose to keep in it. Offline use and local storage are normal for this kind of app, and syncing is an optional workflow choice rather than a requirement. As with any notes app, use a strong device password and be thoughtful about storing passwords, financial details, or other highly sensitive material in plain text.
Recommendation: Keep Beaver Notes if you use it for notes, writing, or personal organization. Remove it only if you no longer need the app, and expect to lose access to any notes that are stored only inside its local data unless you export or back them up first.
