LocArk
Local workspace: notes, passwords, kanban
LocArk is a local-first workspace for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Free features include Markdown notes with search, local images and history recovery, plus a password vault with generator, quick copy, auto-lock and clipboard clearing, organised in spaces, categories and nested folders (up to 2 custom password templates).
You pick the storage folder on first launch; new workspaces use local encryption and a master password. Backup, export and migration are your responsibility. There is no hosted cloud sync — cross-device access relies on a sync location you choose. Installation, updates, purchases and Pro activation still use network services.
Why no subscription? Only partly: creating kanban boards and mind maps and unlimited password templates require Pro. Pro is sold either as a $4.9/year renewing subscription or as a one-time $24.9 lifetime purchase with ongoing updates for the current product line. The free core keeps working, and existing content stays viewable and editable after downgrade. Apple and Google in-app prices and terms differ.
