Craft

Craft is a notes and document app for people who move between phones, computers and the web. It is strongest for individuals and small groups who need offline access and shared, live documents. Its main trade-off is a free plan with firm limits on content, storage, uploads, history and AI credits.

Overview

Craft brings notes, documents and real-time collaboration together, with offline access across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and web. That combination suits a personal workspace that also needs to serve as shared reference material. The free plan can support a small library, but its 1,500-block and 1 GB storage ceilings make it a constrained home for a growing archive.

Key features

Shared notes and offline access

Note sharing and real-time collaboration give Craft a role in group work as well as personal note-taking. Offline access is useful for people who move between connected and disconnected settings. Together, these features make it a practical choice for shared plans and documents that need to travel across devices.

Integrations and AI credits

Craft connects with Calendar, Apple Reminders, iOS Shortcuts, Web Clipper, Email to Craft and Readwise, and offers Craft API and MCP. These options give users several routes for bringing information into a workspace or connecting it to other tools. AI assistant use is capped: Free includes 15 credits, while Plus includes 50 per month. That allowance may suit occasional assistance, but it does not cover unlimited use.

Pricing

Craft is freemium. Free costs nothing, billed monthly, and includes 1,500 blocks, 1 GB storage, a 25 MB media upload limit, seven days of version history and 15 AI assistant credits. It is a reasonable starting point for a modest personal workspace, but the storage, upload and history limits matter if you keep large files or need to revisit older edits.

Plus starts at $6.40/user/mo (annual). It includes unlimited content, storage and media uploads, plus 50 AI assistant credits per month. This is the step up for someone who has outgrown Free’s content and file caps; the AI allowance still has a monthly ceiling.

Family includes two to six Plus accounts, making it the plan structured for a household or small family group. Team includes up to 10 Plus accounts, which suits a small team that wants Plus accounts for its members. Both plans have custom pricing. The available plan terms give no further seat or billing detail, so the number of accounts is the clearest basis for choosing between them.

Platforms

Craft supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Its broad device coverage is useful for people who switch between desktop and mobile, while offline access helps when a connection is unavailable.

Who it's for

Craft fits people who want one place for notes and documents across devices, with the option to share and collaborate in real time. Free is best for a small personal collection where the storage and history caps are acceptable. Plus suits users who need unlimited content and storage, while Family and Team map to groups of two to six and up to 10 Plus accounts, respectively.

Look elsewhere if your use depends on keeping a large library on the free tier or on more than 50 monthly AI assistant credits with Plus. Those limits are central to the plan choices.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Offline access and support across web, desktop and mobile make Craft usable across different devices and connection conditions.
• Pros: Note sharing and real-time collaboration support shared documents as well as private notes.
• Pros: Integrations include calendar, reminders, capture and reading tools, with API and MCP options for connections.
• Cons: Free caps content at 1,500 blocks and storage at 1 GB, which can limit a library as it grows.
• Cons: Free media uploads are limited to 25 MB and version history to seven days.
• Cons: AI credits remain limited on both Free and Plus, at 15 and 50 per month respectively.

Alternatives

Consider Notion if its free plan’s pages, blocks, databases and basic collaboration better match how you organize personal projects. Choose Capacities if its Basic plan’s 5 GB of media uploads is a better fit; after that, uploads are limited to 100 MB per month. Goodnotes is another freemium option, with a free plan capped at three notebooks, three text documents, three whiteboards, three folders and 100 MB storage.

Supernotes offers a free Starter plan with 100 cards, or an Unlimited plan at £6 a month billed £72 billed annually. Zoho Notebook has an Essential free plan with 500 MB cloud storage, 20 note versions, a 3 MB maximum notecard size and 10 MB file uploads. Audionotes may suit readers who want voice notes: its free plan includes unlimited one-minute voice notes, unlimited text notes, transcripts and summaries, and support for 99+ languages. Evernote is another freemium choice, with a free plan capped at 50 notes, one notebook, five spaces, 20 tags, 200 attachments and 1 GB storage. For another freemium option with a free trial and a Starter plan that includes five free notes, consider Notability.

Verdict

Choose Craft if you want notes and documents that work across web, desktop and mobile, with offline access and real-time sharing. Its integrations add useful ways to connect a workspace, and Plus removes the free plan’s content, storage and upload caps. The main reason to look elsewhere is the cost of moving beyond Free, paired with continued monthly AI credit limits; people who need a generous free archive or more AI use should compare alternatives before committing.
