IdeaDock vs Kioku

Open IdeaDock and start writing. No account, no email, not even an anonymous one — your first list is already waiting. Keep it that way, or sign in when you want your lists on every device and shared with the people you plan with. CAPTURE IT BEFORE YOU FORGET IT Type it, or hold the mic and say it. A thought you have on the stairs is in the right list before you reach the top. A LIST FOR EVERY PART OF LIFE Groceries, work, the weekend, the thing you keep meaning to fix. Every list gets its own icon, so you find it without reading. SHARE ONE LIST, NOT ALL OF THEM Invite someone to a single list by email. They add, tick off and edit, and you both see it happen. Everything else stays yours. No more planning in a chat thread. IT TIDIES ITSELF Priorities, pinning, filters and sorting. Deleted tasks sit in the trash for 30 days before they go for good, so nothing vanishes by accident. BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE Your notes are encrypted before they are stored, with a separate key for every list. Without an account, nothing leaves your device at all. Free. No ads. No account required.

Kioku is a personal knowledge library for Mac. Save articles, PDFs, websites, and your own Markdown notes into organized vaults you can read, search, annotate, and keep with you offline. Use Kioku to turn scattered research into a calm, durable library. Paste a URL to archive a single page, save a PDF from your Mac, or crawl more of a site when you want a deeper reference vault. Kioku stores your content as Markdown with downloaded assets, so your library stays portable and readable outside the app. Write your own notes with a focused Markdown editor, add images, create internal links, and keep authored notes separate from saved web pages. While reading, select passages to save excerpts and notes so important ideas do not disappear after the first pass. Kioku also includes optional local AI features for summaries, retrieval, chat, and study cards. Supported models run on your Mac, keeping those experiences local to your device.
