JotBunker
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Mhisper is a quieter place to think. Your thoughts become bubbles ā softly lit, gently drifting on a starfield ā alive until you're ready for them. No streaks. No guilt. No inbox pretending to be a mind. Just a calm sky where what you're thinking becomes something you can see. CATCH IT ⢠Type a thought, or speak it ā on-device dictation turns your voice into a bubble before the idea fades ⢠Every thought wears a colour. Choose yours, or pick Rainbow and let each new thought arrive in its own ⢠Made for the shower sentence, the walk-home idea, the 2am worry that just needs somewhere to land BUILD IT ⢠Step inside any thought ā it opens into a full note built from blocks: clean Markdown or richly styled Fine Text ⢠Add tasks with deadlines and gentle reminders, so remembering isn't your job anymore ⢠Add tasks and check them out from in the note body itself. ⢠Attach images and files where they belong ⢠Connect your notes with one another using threads , and mention other notes in the note body to easily click to navigate between connected notes. SEE IT ⢠Zones gather related thoughts into glowing regions of the sky ⢠Threads draw quiet lines between ideas that belong together ⢠Clusters fold a whole project into a single constellation ā step in, step out ⢠Search by word or colour when you need one thought fast SHARE IT ⢠Presenter mode turns a note into a slow, beautiful reading ā like you're speaking to the reader, one passage at a time ⢠Share a note with a link, or open a Shared Space where a family, a book club, or a team keeps one sky together KEEP IT ⢠Your notes are your intellectual property. Mhisper never reads, sells, or trains anything on them ā they exist for you and no one else ⢠Save your whole canvas as an encrypted memory file only you can open ⢠Your sky follows you between iPhone and the web at mhisper.app For the racing mind that thinks in every direction. For writers watching scenes find their shape. For students turning reading into understanding. For families keeping memories where the grandkids can wander through them. Mhisper is free. Open it, Mhisper a thought, and watch it land.
