Quietkeep holds what you put down, and brings it back.
You do not have to remember to look.
There is one thing worth setting up now: ask this browser to keep
your writing rather than treat it as disposable.
You will also see a prompt about notifications. That
is how the two are linked on iPad — Quietkeep won’t send you
any unless you later turn them on.
You can skip this and do it later. It is always under
the i at the top.
Storage on this device
Bringing a copy back
Moving to a new device, or restoring after something went wrong. Choose an
exported file and Quietkeep will tell you what is in it before anything
changes.
Take in what I don’t have adds anything this copy has and
this device doesn’t, and removes nothing — that is the one for
carrying your work between your own devices.
Replace everything throws away what is here and uses the copy
instead — that is the one for a device you are setting up again.
One pass through your messages
Messages arrive all day and attention does not divide. If you turn this on,
Quietkeep offers a single pass through them at the moment you come out of
working on something — when looking costs least — and never while
you are in the middle of anything.
It is off unless you ask for it, it counts nothing, and skipping one is not
a failure. Quietkeep cannot see your messages and never will.
Today, on paper
One page: the thing to do next, what else is ready, what is with other people,
and what is coming up. For a meeting where a screen is rude, or a day the
battery is going to lose.
Paper cannot update. Ticking something off on the printout does not reach
Quietkeep — the app is still where things are true.
Telling someone where things are
What has changed since the last time you told anyone — finished, come
back, now with someone else — plus what is still outstanding and what
is coming up. It is worked out from your own history, so nothing has to be
kept up to date for it to be right.
Nothing is sent anywhere. It is written for you to paste or hand over
yourself, and the next one starts from this moment.
Reminders that reach you
Quietkeep can only bring something back while it is open. Send what you are
holding to your calendar and the calendar will tell you instead — it
already runs when this app does not.
Only days you set go to a calendar. Quietkeep puts its own dates on
things constantly — that is how it brings them back — and those are
not appointments, so they stay here.
The number on the app icon is how many things are ready now.
It is the same number as “ready now” beside what you are holding,
and it goes away by itself when nothing is asking.
It is a snapshot of this moment. If you change a date here afterwards, the
calendar will not follow — send a fresh copy when it matters.
Trying it out with something in it
An empty planner is hard to judge. This puts a small set of ordinary work in,
dated around today — a job with two steps in it, something whose date has
already gone by, something you are waiting on someone else for, a couple of
things nobody is asking you to do, and two notes not yet sorted.
It goes in beside anything you already have and behaves exactly like your own
work — there is no button that takes only this back out again. Export a
copy first if what is already here matters.
Bringing work in from another planner
An OmniFocus export — TaskPaper or CSV — or anything else
TaskPaper-shaped. Projects keep their contents, and dates you set over there
arrive as dates you set here.
It goes in beside whatever is already here. If you want a clean run at
it, save a copy and start again from empty first — both are just below.
Clearing things out
Two different things, and they are not the same favour. Save a copy first
— it takes a second and it is the only way back.
What’s new
What this is
A free planner that keeps everything on your device. No accounts, no
telemetry, and no server holding your writing — because there is no server.
