Quietkeep

Out of sight. Never out of mind.

It holds the rest, so you can rest.

A free, local-first planner for people whose memory for intentions does not run on willpower. It is built on one promise: anything you put in comes back to you. Not because you remembered to look, but because the app is structurally incapable of letting something go quiet.

Status: early — capture works. The event-sourced spine and the first surface (capture, with the ⓘ panel and export) are live at quietkeep.pages.dev. Clarify, work mode, and everything after are still to come. The design record — decisions, the event vocabulary everything folds from, and the reasoning — is in this repository. See NOTES.md for where things stand.

What it is

• Free, and permanently so. No accounts, no subscription, no upsell.
• Local-first. Your data lives on your device. There is no server holding it, because there is no server.
• No telemetry. None. Not anonymised, not aggregated, not "to improve the product." If something breaks you may volunteer a diagnostic report.
• Offline. A static PWA. The network is never on the critical path.
• Yours to leave. Every byte exports to plain files you can read without us.

What it refuses to be

• It will not score your mood, infer why you did or didn't do something, or use language borrowed from a diagnosis. It plots; you interpret.
• It has no streaks and no overdue state. A missed day is not a broken chain, and a passed date is not a failure to be filed away — it becomes a live card asking what you'd like to do now.
• It has no archive of things you let slip. There is no past bucket.
• It does not treat rest as a lapse. Coming back after a while away is a designed path, not an exception, and what greets you is bounded — never the backlog.
• It does not assume willpower is a tank that empties. The research that claimed so did not replicate, and nothing here is built on it.

Documentation

• NOTES.md — Source of truth — thesis, the ten product laws, frozen v1 scope, open questions
• docs/planning-for-humans.md — Why every feature exists, mapped to the finding behind it and how well established that finding is
• docs/data-constitution.md — What we store, what we promise, and every way out
• docs/event-vocabulary.md — The complete event list that all state folds from
• docs/adr/ — Architecture decision records
• docs/build-plan.md — Architecture and build sequence
• docs/verifications.md — What has been checked, and what only looks checked
• ACCESSIBILITY.md — Append-only accessibility register
• CHANGELOG.md — What changed, written for the person using the app. Generated — the app's ⓘ panel shows the same notes

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA is the target, with COGA-informed patterns for the cognitive load this app exists to reduce. Pressure and time are never encoded by color alone. Shared statement across all of these apps: noahjefferson.pages.dev/accessibility

Found a barrier? That is a bug report, and it is welcome.
