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 proof, backup and restore, writing with photos, and the current Pro archive surfaces are visible in the current build.
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 when the archive needs stronger continuity tools
Pro is for full archive export packages, more precise search, Android capture from other apps and more room around photos as the archive grows.
Keep the continuity path visible
In Wave 1 the path between devices is backup bundle creation, restore from backup file and full archive export, not background sync.
Keep pricing simple
Free stays useful. Pro is a one-time unlock on this platform.
