Scattered by default

We jot down things, write memos and save important information, but our notes, tasks or files live in too many places — different apps, cloud drives, inboxes.

Even when we manage to centralize everything in one place, staying organized remains a challenge, because ...

Folders are too rigid

Like traditional file managers, folders force you to choose one location for each item.

Links get messy fast

Bi-directional links were once seen as a breakthrough — connecting things freely, like a network. But in practice, they often grow too tangled and too hard to maintain.

Tags are powerful — but can be better

Tags can unify content across places.

If extended further, they could absorb the best of folders and links — acting more like #channels, not just labels.

Work Like Folders

Keeplyst stores notes (also called Messages in Keeplyst) and attach files directly inside a Channel, just like you would in a folder.

Flexible Like Links

Keeplyst Messages can belong to multiple Channels, making cross-referencing effortless and flexible.

As Powerful As Tags

In Keeplyst, gathering related information from different sources into one place is easy — like tags, but with more features.

Plus Internal Structure

Unlike normal tags, each Channel has its own internal layout and logic, making it ideal for focused work and organized thinking with Keeplyst.

We REJECT the practice of using cloud storage to trap users or monetize their private notes.

We built Keeplyst on a clear principle: your data belongs to you.

That’s why Keeplyst is local-first — your notes are saved on your device, instantly accessible even without internet, and never sent to our servers.

We use open, portable file formats, so you’re never locked in. You can move, back up, or inspect your data at any time.
