A private journal for paper
Photograph the pages you write by hand. The Lady’s Keeper gathers them into one quiet shelf — on your computer, not in a cloud.

Rain on the step, a letter answered at last. The cat has taken the warm chair again.
The lamp was low and the room quiet. I wrote for an hour without stopping.
Nothing happened today that would interest anyone else, and that is precisely why it belongs here.
A shelf of sample entries. The real thing holds your pages.
The shape of it
Three small steps, and the pages are off your phone and into a place you can return to.
Use a phone camera, a scan, or drag a folder of images onto the desktop app. Each page is processed on this device before it is stored.
Pages that belong together are kept together, in order. Give the entry a date, a title, a tag or a mood — or leave it plain.
Turn the pages, search the notes you type, and find a day by its date or its feeling. The shelf is yours to keep.
A room, not a platform
The Lady’s Keeper does one thing: it keeps the pages you write by hand. It is not trying to become your dashboard, your feed, or your second brain.
The promise
Your pages, your handwriting, and the notes you type stay in the app’s own storage on your computer. There is no server to send them to.
Backups are zips you make and keep where you like. If you save one to a cloud folder, your cloud provider’s terms apply — the app itself does not upload anything.

What it never asks for
The front door
One purchase, one download, no subscription. The Windows edition is ready for purchase; the Mac edition is being prepared.
Windows 10 or 11 · 64-bit
The installer is delivered by Lemon Squeezy after checkout. It puts the app in your user folder and creates a Start Menu shortcut. No administrator password is needed.
You will receive a download link by email. This first build is not code-signed yet; Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. A signed build is the next step.
Apple silicon and Intel
The Mac build is configured for a direct download. It needs a Mac to compile, sign, and notarize; it will arrive as a DMG, not through the App Store.
One-time purchase
$24 USD
Checkout and download delivery are handled by Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record.
Questions
No. There is no sign-in, no profile, and no server. The app opens to your shelf.
In the app’s own storage on your computer. You can make a zip archive whenever you like and keep it on another drive.
After checkout, Lemon Squeezy emails a secure download link. The installer is not publicly downloadable from this page.
No. The page image is the record, and the app does not try to turn handwriting into text. If you want an entry to be searchable by its words, type a few notes when you keep it.
The Mac edition is being prepared as a direct download. It is not in the App Store.
Keep a backup zip on another drive. The app cannot recover what was never backed up; that is the cost of keeping the library entirely yours.
No. One purchase, free 1.x updates. A future major version may be a separate purchase if there is a real major version.
The current build is unsigned while the publisher certificate is being set up. A signed build is the next step before public sale.
