SectorMap
Read full descriptionHide full description
SectorMap is a private offline archive for anyone who likes to collect, tag, and organize — links, references, notes, research, whatever matters to you. Think of it as a personal dossier app with a retro command console aesthetic. EVERYTHING IS LOCAL No account. No cloud. No tracking. No analytics. Records live in a database inside the app's sandbox and never leave your device. Delete the app and the data is gone with it. TAG AND SEARCH Every record carries a title, URL, type, description, source, and free-form tags. Full-text search runs instantly across everything you've saved. ADD AND EDIT MANUALLY Create new records from scratch, edit existing ones in place, or delete the ones you no longer need — all from a simple list view. THE GALAXY VIEW See your archive as a galaxy of clusters, grouped by tag or type. Drag, zoom, focus a cluster to see its orbiting records. A calmer, more visual way to browse a growing archive than a flat list. MULTIPLE DATABASES Keep separate archives for separate projects. Import database files, or export as database files or CSV, to move data between devices or back it up on your own terms. Imports merge intelligently — records matching on URL and title update in place instead of duplicating. SECTOR D COMMAND The landing screen is a small love letter to old animated spy-HQ aesthetics — monospace terminals, mission-console panels, a little absurdity. Tap the colored lights below the ENGAGE HAMSTER-CORE button to switch between the app's top-level pages, then ignite to jump into the archive view for that mode. Your data is yours. It stays on your phone.
