Observe. Document. Let the pattern speak. When a noisy neighbor, a misplaced fence, or a barking dog has disrupted life for months, words alone may not move a landlord, mediator, or small-claims judge. Time-stamped documentation can. NeighborLog is a private evidence journal for that work. Log an incident with its time, type, severity, observations, and impact. Measure noise in decibels without buying a meter. Preserve photo timestamps and GPS coordinates. Track complaints and outcomes. Then surface the pattern: "34 incidents over six months, 86 percent on Friday and Saturday nights." This is not a reporting app. It does not contact your neighbor, the city, or anyone else. It is a private notebook that organizes facts so they hold up later. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE - No account. No login. No cloud upload. - All data stored locally using SwiftData. - We have no servers. We never see your dispute. - The noise meter reads decibel levels only. No audio is recorded or stored - so you stay clear of two-party-consent recording laws.

No audio recorded. - Pattern analysis with Swift Charts - day-of-week, hour-of-day, frequency, escalation. - Full evidence package PDF + CSV export for mediation, attorney, or small claims court. - Unlimited neighbors and incidents - no 10-incident cap. - Multiple GPS-tagged photos per incident - free is capped at 1 per incident. - Unlimited communications - free is capped at 5 per dispute. - Unlimited municipal complaint entries - free is capped at 2 per dispute. - Unlimited damage cost entries - free is capped at 3 per dispute. - Full witness directory with willingness-to-testify status and cross-incident links. WHO THIS IS FOR - Homeowners with a chronic noise, boundary, fence, tree, or drainage dispute. - Renters whose landlord has ignored repeated complaints about the unit upstairs. - Owners preparing for mediation, code enforcement, or small claims court. - Anyone whose lawyer said "document everything before we file." WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - People wanting a way to confront, contact, or shame their neighbor. - People wanting AI to interpret their dispute or recommend legal action. - People wanting their log synced to a community moderator or city portal. NeighborLog is a personal documentation tool. It does not provide legal advice, file complaints, communicate with neighbors, or guarantee any court or mediator will accept its output. The decibel meter is not laboratory-calibrated; readings are for relative comparison only. PRO ACCESS OPTIONS - Pro Annual: $19.99/year with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. - Pro Lifetime: $39.99 one-time purchase. The annual subscription auto-renews until canceled.

Your backup shouldn't depend on any company. YourKeep is a private, local-first file backup and encryption app. Protect important files with encryption and resilient splitting, or split files for redundant storage without using a recovery phrase. PROTECT YOUR IMPORTANT FILES Protect encrypts your files locally before splitting them into multiple pieces. Store those pieces across cloud drives, NAS devices, external drives, computers, or other locations you already trust. If one storage location becomes unavailable, your files can still be recovered from the remaining required pieces. • Local file encryption • Resilient multi-piece backup • Protect files up to 2 MB for free • No account required • No dedicated backup server • Store pieces wherever you choose • Recover anytime SPLIT WITHOUT ENCRYPTION Sometimes you need redundancy without encryption. Split lets you divide a file into multiple recoverable pieces without creating or using a recovery phrase. Keep the pieces in different locations and recover the original from the required number of pieces. Split does not encrypt your files. For private or sensitive data, use Protect. RECOVER WITHOUT LOCK-IN YourKeep backups are designed to remain under your control. Recovery does not depend on a YourKeep account or backup server. YourKeep automatically recognizes supported backup formats and determines whether a recovery phrase is required. Recovery is always free. BUILT FOR THE LONG TERM Apps come and go. Cloud providers change. Storage services evolve. Your backup should remain yours. YourKeep is built around a simple principle: Your backup shouldn't depend on YourKeep. Keep family photos, important documents, recovery keys, digital assets, private archives, and other files recoverable across the storage you already use. LOCAL-FIRST. OPEN. YOURS. • Private file backup • Encrypted backup • Offline file protection • File splitting and redundancy • Cross-platform recovery • Open recovery format • No vendor lock-in • No account • No backup server Your files. Your storage. Your backup.
