"The Cloud" is just someone else's computer. For sensitive research data, you shouldn't have to trust a third party with your logs. Read about risks of cloud health trackers.
What is Local-First?
Local-First means the primary copy of your data lives on your device (in IndexedDB). It is not sent to a server unless you explicitly export it. Learn how to track protocols without an account.
The Benefits
- Ownership: You physically possess the data. If Peptify.App.app shuts down tomorrow, your data is still on your phone. See exporting research data (JSON).
- Privacy: No database admin can peek at your logs. No hacker can breach a central server and steal millions of records, because there is no central server containing records.
- Speed: No loading spinners. The app talks directly to your device's memory.
This pairs well with visualizing dosing charts and helps organize a multi-peptide protocol securely.
