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.
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.
Everything underneath the app is a project of its own. #
Plaintext Records, Organized and Verifiable — the self-describing workspace engine behind Diaryx: documents, relations, identity, fixity.
About prov → fig ZigLossless parsing and editing of config files — YAML, TOML, JSON, ZON — down to every comment, key order, and blank line.
About fig → twig ZigA round-trippable document AST for Markdown, Djot, and HTML — parse once, edit precisely, write back exactly what you mean.
About twig → leaf Rust · SwiftA caret-based rich-text editor over twig's AST — one editing core, from terminal to iOS to the browser.
About leaf → flower RustA structural editor for config files: navigate the parsed tree, edit one value at a time, never hold an invalid document.
About flower → historica RustConvergent version control where the readable files are the authority — history as documents, not a database. It carries what Diaryx publishes, and what readers send back.
About historica → historica-remark RustA reader's remarks on a chain, and the layer that carries them home — lifted out of the app so the annotation model is usable without any of it.
On GitHub →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.
