Write on this device first
No mandatory account before the first entry.
Serious personal archive
Write clearly now. Find it later without guesswork.
DayKept is a local-first journal for people who want their archive to stay understandable. Write on your device, search real text later, and move deliberately with visible backup and restore.
Search real text later
Titles, body text and tags stay retrievable as the archive grows.
Move deliberately
Backup, restore and export stay visible instead of hidden behind sync.
What it looks like
Real product surfaces, not launch stickers.
Search, narrower retrieval and restore are visible in the current build.
Supportive surface
Need the exact difference between plans?
The landing stays short on purpose. Open the plan page when you want the exact Free and Pro split without piecing it together from paywalls.
Workflow
Write, retrieve and carry the archive forward.
Start writing without setup friction
Journals, tags and local writing are ready on the device you hold.
Upgrade only when retrieval gets harder
Pro is for narrower search and more attachment freedom when the archive grows, not for basic daily writing.
Keep the continuity path visible
In Wave 1 the path between devices is backup, restore and selective export, not background sync.
Keep pricing simple
Free stays useful. Pro is a one-time unlock on this platform.
Pricing
Free to write. Pro for deeper archive control.
