## What is LocalInk?

LocalInk is a quiet place for your personal diary on iPhone and iPad. Write about your day, save memories and return to your own words without creating a LocalInk account. Core journaling works offline, with an encrypted database on your device. There is no journal cloud sync, advertising or tracking.

FREE EVERYDAY JOURNALING
Create and edit unlimited entries with autosave, optional titles and chosen dates. Browse the calendar and library, search your writing, review basic statistics and revisit entry history. Use Trash and optional App Lock, and export the complete journal as HTML.

OPTIONAL LIFETIME PRO
One payment, no subscription. Pro adds moods and reusable tags, context filters, private local insights, styled PDF journals and optional mood/tag context in HTML reports. Core writing and recovery tools remain free.

FILES UNDER YOUR CONTROL
Create portable .localink backups and save reports where you choose. Backups, HTML and PDF are readable, unencrypted files: keep them private. Only a verified .localink backup can restore a journal. Restore replaces the entire current journal; it does not merge entries. HTML and PDF cannot be restored into LocalInk.

There is no server copy of your journal. Keep a usable backup: deleting the app or losing access to the device can otherwise mean permanent data loss.
