ADoor vs Evernote
Evernote is a note app for notes, web clippings and documents. ADoor, your data account, keeps structured records, with fields you can sort and query, that you, your team and assistants like ChatGPT read and change with their own access.
Where ADoor stands out
Records with fields
Evernote stores notes. In ADoor, an assistant like ChatGPT creates a list with the fields you describe, and you can count and query it in SQL.
MCP on every plan
Evernote's MCP server is in beta and needs a paid plan. ADoor's MCP server is on the free plan too.
Access per field
In ADoor you can share a list without one field, or let someone add but not delete.

ADoor
ADoor is your data account. You keep lists and tables in a workspace you own, personal or team: a reading list, an incident log, a list of customers. Describe what you want to keep track of and it's set up for you, with real Postgres underneath. Every person, app, assistant, device and job gets its own access.
- Assistants
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor connect through MCP with a sign-in.
- Apps and scripts
- An HTTP API with keys, running the same actions assistants use
- Access
- Per space, list or field, or just the entries where a field equals a value you choose. Reading, adding, editing and deleting entries, and changing a list's fields, are separate permissions. An assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.
- Approvals
- Agents ask for more access and you approve or deny. A new device signs in only after you approve it and choose its access.
- CI jobs
- GitHub Actions signs in with short-lived access, 15 minutes by default and up to 30 days, with no stored secret.
- Revoking
- Takes effect on the next request. What was already saved stays.
- History
- A history of changes, with who made each one and the before and after
- Underneath
- Standard Postgres
- Plans
- Free for 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage.
