OwnKeep v1.3

A notes module with a Markdown editor, and auto-renewing subscriptions that roll themselves forward.

Requirements

  • macOS 13 or later
  • Universal 2 — Apple Silicon and Intel

Install

Download the .dmg, open it, drag OwnKeep to Applications. On first launch macOS asks for
Accessibility permission so the ⌘⇧Space global hotkey works system-wide; OwnKeep runs in the
menu bar with no Dock icon.

Upgrading from v1.2? Drag the new app over the old one. Your vault lives outside the app bundle and
is untouched. The vault schema is unchanged at version 11 — v1.3 adds an empty notes slice the
first time it opens your vault, and nothing else about the file changes. No migration runs and no
re-issue of the Emergency Kit is needed.

One thing will surprise your fingers: Notes takes ⌥⇧4, so Subscriptions moves to ⌥⇧5 and
Finance to ⌥⇧6. Modules are numbered by their position in the sidebar, so inserting one shifts
everything below it.

Changes

  • Notes module (⌥⇧4). Markdown notes with a formatting toolbar, a Write/Preview toggle, and a full-screen editing mode. Notes group by category and sort by last edited. Code blocks get the same per-line copy affordance as the Commands module. Rendered Markdown is sanitised before display, so a note pasted in from elsewhere cannot inject markup.
  • Notes are not in the command bar by default — they are long-form text and would drown out logins and commands. Turn on searchability per module in Settings, or scope a command-bar query to notes with the n prefix.
  • Subscriptions and Finance move to ⌥⇧5 and ⌥⇧6 to make room for Notes at ⌥⇧4.
  • Auto-renew subscriptions now roll forward on their own. When the invoice day arrives, OwnKeep advances the subscription to its next invoice date and notifies you once that it renewed. This is the first feature that writes to your vault without you asking: it happens only while the vault is unlocked, only to the nextDueDate of subscriptions you marked auto-renew, and the Dashboard refreshes itself when it does. Manual subscriptions are untouched and still go overdue if you ignore them.
  • Reminders are now deduplicated per due occurrence instead of on a five-minute cooldown, so rescheduling an item lets it notify again and nothing fires twice for the same due date.
  • Settings keeps its header in place and scrolls the body; theme is a button group rather than a dropdown.

Known issues

  • Notes have no revision history — an edit replaces the previous body. Your backups are the undo.
  • The command bar indexes a note's full body when searchability is enabled, so a large note makes for noisy results.
  • Your vault is one encrypted file that is rewritten in full on every save, so notes are best kept to notes. A few hundred of them is nothing; pasting entire documents in will make every save in every module slower.
  • No sync, no browser autofill, no TOTP generation — all deliberate non-goals.
  • macOS only.
