JotBunker vs SoloPDF

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.

SoloPDF is a clean, fast, fully local PDF reader — no ads, no account, nothing ever uploaded. • Reading: multiple tabs, outline, page thumbnails, full-text search, fit-width/fit-page zoom. Huge files open instantly thanks to on-demand loading. • Highlights become notes: highlight any text and the annotation is saved as a Markdown notes file (.annotations.md) right next to the PDF — open, edit, and version it with any editor (including our SoloMD). solopdf:// links inside the notes jump straight back to the highlighted passage. • Forms: fill AcroForm PDFs (text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns) and save the result. • Export to Markdown: turn a whole PDF into a Markdown document, outline headings included. • Dark mode with smart page inversion for comfortable night reading. • Interface in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, and 日本語. Everything runs on your device. No network calls, no data collection.
