Kenet

Write; let who, where and when link themselves.

Kenet is a personal journal that needs no account and keeps everything in plain Markdown files. It links the short entries you write during the day to people, places and time on its own, in a vault Obsidian can open.

How it works

You write. Kenet links the person, place and time.

It is written to your day file as plain Markdown. When a name is ambiguous the app asks; it does not guess.

Three promises

The files stay yours.

  • Your data is yours

    Markdown is the source of truth, and there is no account. You can read the files without the app. A vault in iCloud Drive or in a folder you picked stays if you delete the app; on iPhone and iPad, a local vault on the device is deleted with the app.

    Read the privacy policy

  • Nothing gets lost

    Kenet writes to the file first, then updates its index. It never touches text it does not recognise. Deleting asks or can be undone.

  • Portable to other platforms

    The vault is the same as Obsidian's. No app-specific syntax, and the vault is not encrypted.

Screens

The screen you open every day stays simple; detail lives in the other tabs.

A person's history on one page

Last meeting, that day's people and places. With calendar access, upcoming events show here; you can add the birthday from the date in the person's file to your calendar.

People and places

Graph and map entries, people you have not seen in a while, and the people list.

Tasks on a Kanban board too

Tasks with project tags in status columns; the same tasks as a list and a timeline too.

Track a goal by amount

Type the amount on the number pad, add a quick step or complete the goal. Below: chain, last 90 days and heat map.

Kenet on iPad in landscape: sidebar, journal calendar and the Today screen; goals, tasks and calendar events
On iPad the sidebar, the list and the page sit side by side. Open a past day and its entries and tasks gather in time order on a single Schedule card.

Vault

The same vault as Obsidian. No export.
