Skriuw is a desktop application developed by Remco Stoeten for notes, journaling, and knowledge work, positioned within the note-taking and personal knowledge management category of productivity software. Its defining characteristic is a local-first architecture: rather than relying on cloud services or remote servers, the application keeps the user's workspace on the local machine, which supports fast performance and continued access to content without a network connection. The description emphasizes speed alongside this local-first design, indicating that responsiveness is a core goal of the application for everyday writing and knowledge work tasks. The software is distributed as a desktop app, making it suitable for individual users who want to maintain notes, keep a journal, or organize knowledge material on their own computer. According to the provided release information, the current version is 0.44.0, and the catalog lists six versions in total, reflecting an ongoing release history with multiple published iterations. In the version described as version 2 of its storage approach, the workspace is kept in local SQLite storage, a widely used embedded database format that stores data in a single file on the user's device. Complementing this local database, Skriuw provides portable archives, allowing workspaces to be packaged and moved, and Git-backed history, which applies Git-style version tracking to the stored content so that changes over time are recorded. Together, these elements—local SQLite storage, portable archives, and Git-backed history—define how the application handles data persistence, portability, and change tracking for notes and journals. Users evaluating the software can reference version 0.44.0 as the current release, with the earlier entries among the six listed versions documenting the project's development up to this point.
