## About

LocArk is a local-first personal workspace for macOS, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android. Markdown notes, password records and a quick-capture Inbox are free; creating kanban boards and mind maps requires Pro. Core features work offline, and you choose where the workspace files are stored. New workspaces are locally encrypted with a master password; older unencrypted workspaces remain supported. LocArk does not provide hosted cloud sync; using a third-party sync folder is optional. It does not include AI features, team collaboration or browser/system autofill. The Mac app requires macOS 12.0 or later, supports Intel Macs and runs natively on Apple silicon without Rosetta. The Mac app is distributed through the official Mac App Store. Website Pro Annual renews at US$4.90 per year; Pro Lifetime is a one-time US$24.90 payment. Both have the same Pro features. Store prices and terms may differ. Developed by SELFARK LTD. Gallery images are original macOS Notes, Passwords and Pro Kanban captures with demonstration data.
