JotBunker

Read full description

JotBunker is a note-taking app for your phone and your computer. You jot on your phone. You work and store in your Bunker, a secure computer on your home network. Sync happens over your local Wi-Fi when you choose. No cloud. No accounts. No data ever leaves your network. FOUR WORKSPACES • Jots: Six numbered slots for quick capture. Each slot holds text, drawings, photos, voice recordings, and file attachments. Fill the slots, sync them to your computer, and clear them for the next round. • Lists: Todos and checklists. Rename categories, reorder items, check things off on either device. Changes merge when you reconnect. • Locked Lists: Gate codes, lock combos, membership numbers, safe combinations. Protected behind biometrics and auto-locked the moment you navigate away. • Scratchpads: Six freeform text areas. Start a thought on your computer, pick it up on your phone. HOW SYNC WORKS Pair once by scanning a QR code. After that, tap Sync whenever you're on your home network. All network traffic is encrypted end-to-end with NaCl. Nothing goes through an external server. From your computer, download jots as plain files (.txt, .jpg, .m4a, .pdf) into folders you choose. Use them with anything: search tools, scripts, a PKM system, or just File Explorer. OPEN SOURCE JotBunker source code is publicly available under the GPL-3.0 license at github.com/johnbrantly/jotbunker. The companion desktop app is available at jotbunker.com.

About

Aupath

Features
Read full description

Aupath is a simple yet powerful schedule manager built for creators juggling multiple projects and deadlines. "Which project was due, and when?" Aupath brings your tasks, events, and calendar together on a single screen—turning the scattered mess in your head into a clear, at-a-glance overview. No more bouncing between a calendar app and a to-do app. ■ Who it's for ・Freelancers, designers, illustrators, and video creators running several projects at once ・Anyone managing projects with multiple deadlines ・People who want work and personal plans in one place ・Anyone tired of juggling a separate calendar app and to-do app ■ Key features Multiple deadlines for a single task — Give one project several milestones like "rough draft," "revisions," and "final delivery." Manage the whole workflow in one place and see your progress at a glance. Create recurring work in one tap with templates — Save projects and events you create over and over as templates, then recall an entire setup—deadlines, tags, and notifications included—to all but eliminate repetitive entry. Duplicate and reorder them to reuse your own way of working exactly as it is. Calendar × tasks on one screen — See task deadlines and events together on the calendar, and switch between today, this week, and this month to grasp your project status intuitively. Month, week, and day views — Switch between three views in a single tap. Perfect for zooming out to plan, or zooming in on the details of a single day. A fast, scannable list view — See every plan, event, and task in a list, neatly separated by tabs. Work and personal life, all in one place. Home Screen widgets — Choose from widgets in multiple sizes and check today's plans and upcoming deadlines right from your Home Screen, without even opening the app. Customizable statuses — Freely add, edit, and reorder project statuses like "To do," "In progress," and "Done" to match the way you actually work. Organize and filter with tags — Tag projects and categories, then filter down to just the plans you need in seconds. Holidays worldwide — Holidays appear automatically based on your device's region settings, so overseas projects and long-term plans are easy to map out. 11 languages — Available in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, and Hindi. Switch anytime inside the app, independently of your device settings. Dark mode — Switches automatically with your device settings, or set it manually in the app. Easy on the eyes for late-night work. Simple, beautiful design — An interface stripped of needless decoration and focused on delivering information clearly. Because you'll use it every day, we obsessed over readability and ease of use. ■ Ways to use it ・Tag projects and filter by them ・Get reminders as task deadlines approach ・Spin up recurring projects from templates ・Plan your workload week by week ・Schedule around personal commitments so nothing collides ■ From the developer "Running several projects in parallel." "One project with multiple deadlines." I always felt existing calendar and to-do apps didn't truly answer this creator-specific way of working. Aupath was born from those real-world frustrations. I'd be glad if it could ride alongside your creative work for a long time to come. Questions or requests? Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.
