Local-first archive

Keep your writing understandable on the device you use now.

DayKept is a serious personal archive for people who want clear writing, real search later, and a visible continuity path. Start without an account, search titles, text and tags, and move between devices with backup bundles, restore and full archive export.

No mandatory account to start · One-time unlock per platform · Backup, restore and export stay visible

Android archive view

DayKept home archive showing journals, entry cards and the New entry action.
Your archive stays readable on the device you already use.

On your device first

Writing starts locally, without a mandatory account before the first entry.

Search real text

Titles, body text and tags stay retrievable as the archive grows.

Backup and restore clearly

Create backup bundles, restore deliberately, and keep export separate from backup.

Archive workflow

Write, retrieve and carry the archive forward without guesswork.

Write and organize on this device

Journals, tags, single-entry sharing and photo attachments stay in the main writing flow.

Search titles, text and tags later

Free stays credible for daily retrieval. Pro adds snippets and filters when the archive gets harder to navigate.

Create backup bundles and restore from backup file

The continuity path stays explicit: create a visible backup file, keep it, then use Restore review before replacing the local archive.

Use full archive export when you need a portable package

Full archive export is separate from backup. It produces readable files, structured data and attachment files.

FAQ

Short answers first.

No. DayKept starts on the device you are using.

Does DayKept sync across devices?

No. DayKept uses backup bundles, Restore from backup file and full archive export instead of live sync.

What does Pro unlock?

Pro adds stronger search, full archive export, more photo room and Android capture from other apps.

What about automatic backup copies?

On Android, Pro can keep backup copies in Google Drive. This does not sync your live archive across devices.
