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.
