Paperkept keeps a journal off the network
A private iPhone and Android journal built around local storage, durable writing, and no account or cloud sync.
Field notes
The product is organized around local-first journaling rather than synchronization: entries remain on one device, with Markdown export serving as the user's chosen backup path. The described workflow includes dated entries, full-text search, notebooks, reminders, device-level locking, and import that does not overwrite existing material. Paperkept also says exports include photographs and that the Android build omits the INTERNET permission, though the page is ambiguous about whether both store releases are currently available.
