Cloud apps: You rent access. They own the data.

Local-first apps: You own the data. It lives on your device.

Your apps keep working.
Your data stays yours.

That's ownership.

Stop renting. Start owning.

Local-first software = your data lives on YOUR device.

ARK Rate: Currency converter, works offline, syncs YOUR devices
ARK Memo: Notes (text/voice/drawings), encrypted locally
ARK Drop: File sharing, device-to-device

No servers. No landlord.

2017:

Google Docs locked thousands of users out of their documents.
