Markist - Track Anything
Privacy-first tracking app that stores data as markdown
Markist records personal activities by writing each day’s entries into plain‑text markdown files stored locally on the iOS device. Because the data never leaves the phone unless the user enables end‑to‑end encrypted iCloud sync, there are no servers, accounts, or analytics involved. The app structures logs as one markdown file per day, allowing users to open, edit, or back up the files with any text editor and to export the entire collection as a ZIP archive.
The core workflow focuses on quick, template‑driven entries for a wide range of categories such as habits, workouts, sleep, meals, and baby routines. Users can define custom templates for recurring activities, and the app automatically formats entries with simple markdown headings and tags, making the logs human‑readable and easy to scan.
Designed for an offline‑first experience, Markist emphasizes data ownership and developer friendliness. Because the storage format is standard markdown, developers can parse, script, or migrate the data with any tool that understands the format, while regular users benefit from a minimal, privacy‑centric interface that requires no sign‑up or external services.
