Interesting. Local-first with CloudKit sync is the right balance. Does it support export (Markdown, JSON, PDF), or is data locked in the app?
@ashishdurgude you can copy all entries to the clipboard in plain text with one click in the Export tab.
Sharing Plume today. It's the journaling app I wished existed: local-first, end-to-end encrypted, one-time purchase, and AI that helps you reflect.
