LocalFirst

This page explores local first software - software that keeps your data locally as much as possible and only sends it over the network for synchronization or backup.

The paper linked above defines seven ideals for local-first software. I will only be considering those that I consider important.

Here is a listing of local-first software that I already use as replacements for cloud-first software.

Cloud-first software	Local-first alternative
Google Docs	LibreOffice + Syncthing
Evernote	Emacs org-mode + Syncthing
ToDoist	Emacs org-agenda, Orgzly + Syncthing
