About Diaryx

Open infrastructure for personal memory.

What you remember shouldn't depend on whether a company stays alive. Diaryx is an organization building open formats, verifiable files, and software anyone can inspect — and the Diaryx app is where that philosophy becomes something your family can hold.

Open source Every core engine is MIT / Apache-2.0 and public
Plain files Markdown and YAML in folders you control
Local-first Nothing leaves your machine until you say so
The stack

One app, standing on open engines.

The app is the only closed layer, and it is deliberately the thinnest one. Everything that touches your files — parsing, structure, identity, editing — is an open project anyone can use without us.

Each layer only ever edits through the one below it, so every change to your files is a lossless splice — and each project is usable on its own, with no Diaryx anywhere in sight.

How we work

Plain files win.

Everything we build stores its work as Markdown, YAML, and ordinary bytes in folders you own. No opaque containers, no export button to hunt for.

Durability is a practice.

Content hashes that prove nothing drifted, identifiers that survive renames, structure written into the files themselves — techniques borrowed from professional archives, not invented for an app.

If it matters, it's open.

The engines are MIT/Apache-2.0 and world-readable. If we vanished tomorrow, everything you keep would still be there, still readable — which is rather the point.

See what it's all for.

The app is free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — and every engine under it is on GitHub.
