NotchcountWhy this exists
Notchcount was built by an independent developer who wanted a private place to keep track of their encounters around the world, one that no company could read. It started as a phone app for personal use. This is the web version, built so that even the service running it cannot see what is stored on it.
Why we built it
Keeping track of the people you've been with is nothing to be ashamed of. It's your history, and the memories are worth keeping. Who you met, where you were and how it went are the details that fade unless you write them down.
But a list like that is about as private as information gets. It also names people who never agreed to be on anyone's server. A notes app, a spreadsheet or a cloud drive wasn't good enough for that, so we built something that keeps the memories and protects everyone in them.
Why we're sharing it
We doubt we're the only ones who want this. If you'd like to remember who, where and when without trusting a company to keep it to itself, Notchcount is for you.
Why it's built this way
Most apps keep your data where the company can read it, and promise to be careful. Notchcount is built so there is nothing to be careful with. Your entries are locked on your device before they're sent, and the key never reaches us.
What we will never do
No ads, no tracking, and nothing sold. No one at Notchcount can read your entries, because we hold no key that opens them. That also means we can't reset your password. If you lose every way in (your password, your recovery code and any passkey you added), nobody can bring your entries back, including us. Only a backup you exported yourself can. That's the price of real privacy, and we think it's worth it.
Your data can leave with you
You can export everything at any time, as an encrypted backup or as a plain file you can read yourself. If Notchcount ever closed, we would tell you by email first, so you'd have time to take your entries with you.
Don't take our word for it

Small on purpose
Notchcount is a one-person project, and invite only while it's small. Feedback goes straight to the person who builds it, so if something is missing or wrong, say so.
