Local-first planner

A local-first planner app — your data stays on your device

WeekFlux is a local-first weekly planner. Your tasks, time blocks, habits, and notes live on your device by default. No account required, no cloud dependency, and sync is opt-in and end-to-end encrypted.

Most planner apps store your tasks, schedule, and notes on their servers by default. That means your weekly plan — your work, your routines, your private commitments — lives in a database you do not control, readable by people you have never met.

WeekFlux takes the opposite approach. It is a local-first planner: your data starts and stays on your device. The cloud is an option you choose, not a requirement you accept. This page explains what that means in practice.

What local-first means

A local-first application stores your data on your device as the primary source of truth. The app reads and writes locally, so it is fast, works offline, and does not depend on a server to function.

In WeekFlux, your tasks, time blocks, habits, notes, and focus sessions are stored in your browser's local database. When you open the planner, it reads directly from your device — no loading spinners waiting for a server response, no 'you are offline' blocks.

At a glance

  • Data lives on your device as the primary copy
  • Works fully offline — plan anywhere, anytime
  • No server dependency for core functionality
  • Fast reads and writes without network round-trips
  • You control where your data goes

What stays on your device

By default, everything stays on your device. Your task list, your weekly time blocks, your habit tracker data, your notes, and your focus session history are all stored locally. None of it is sent to a server unless you explicitly choose to enable sync.

This includes the contents of your tasks — the titles, descriptions, and scheduling — as well as the structure of your week, your habit streaks, and anything you write in notes. The default is complete locality.

At a glance

  • Task titles, descriptions, and scheduling — local
  • Time blocks and weekly layout — local
  • Habit definitions, completions, and streaks — local
  • Note contents — local
  • Focus session history — local

What changes when sync is enabled

Sync changes where encrypted copies can travel, not the basic local-first workflow. Your device still remains the place where you plan, edit, and use WeekFlux; sync is an optional continuity layer for people who want more than one device involved.

That means the privacy tradeoff is explicit. You choose whether cross-device access is worth adding an account and encrypted sync to an otherwise local planning setup.

At a glance

  • Without sync: planning data stays in the browser database on the device you use
  • With sync: encrypted planner data can be copied between your signed-in devices
  • Without sync: export and manual backup are your portability tools
  • With sync: recovery depends on the sync credentials and backup setup you choose

What WeekFlux cannot see by default

By default, WeekFlux does not receive the contents of your planner because the planner works locally. Your task titles, notes, habit completions, and time blocks are not sent to a server just so the app can function.

WeekFlux also does not use in-app analytics to turn your planning behavior into engagement metrics. The product is built around planning utility, not behavioral tracking.

At a glance

  • Task and note contents stay local unless you choose sync or export them
  • Habit completions and focus history stay local by default
  • Planning behavior is not sent to an in-app analytics dashboard
  • The cloud is optional, not the default storage model

Optional encrypted sync

If you want your plan accessible on more than one device, WeekFlux offers encrypted sync as an opt-in Pro feature. It is off by default and stays off until you choose to set it up.

When enabled, sync uses end-to-end encryption: your data is encrypted on your device before it is sent, and the server stores encrypted data rather than readable planner contents. The exact recovery behavior depends on the sync setup you choose.

At a glance

  • Opt-in — off until you turn it on
  • End-to-end encrypted before upload
  • Server stores encrypted planner data
  • Recovery depends on your sync credentials and backup choices
  • Disabling sync keeps your local data intact

Backup and export ownership

Local-first also means you can take your data with you. WeekFlux supports exporting your planner data in standard formats, so you are never locked in. Backups are encrypted using the same scheme as sync, keeping your data protected even in transit or at rest outside the app.

You can export your data, back it up, move it between devices manually, or restore from a backup — all without depending on a cloud service to release your own information to you.

Privacy architecture at a glance

Your calendar, tasks, habits, notes, and focus history are behavioral data. WeekFlux is built to keep that data under your control by making the device the default home for planning data.

The practical model is simple: local planning first, optional encrypted sync second, export and backup as your escape hatch. That gives you a usable planner without making the cloud the starting point.

At a glance

  • Stays on your device by default: tasks, time blocks, notes, habits, and focus history
  • Changes when sync is enabled: encrypted copies can move between signed-in devices
  • WeekFlux does not use planner contents for in-app analytics or advertising
  • Export and backup let you keep a copy outside the app

Why privacy matters for planning data

A weekly planner is unusually personal. Your calendar, tasks, habits, notes, and focus history are behavioral data. They reveal what you care about, when you work, what you avoid, and what routines you are trying to build.

WeekFlux is built to keep that data under your control. Local-first storage reduces unnecessary exposure by keeping the default copy on your device instead of making a cloud database the starting point.

No in-app analytics

WeekFlux ships with no in-app analytics. There are no third-party tracking SDKs, no behavioral analytics measuring how you plan, and no usage data being sent to a dashboard. What you do in your planner is between you and your device.

This is not a privacy 'mode' you have to find in settings — it is the default. The app does not collect analytics because it was not built to.

FAQ

What does local-first actually mean for my data?

It means your tasks, schedule, habits, and notes are stored on your device as the primary copy. The app works fully offline, and nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly enable optional encrypted sync.

Do I need an internet connection to use WeekFlux?

No. Because WeekFlux is local-first, you can plan your week, edit tasks, track habits, and run focus sessions without an internet connection. An internet connection is only needed if you enable encrypted sync or want to load the app initially.

Can WeekFlux see my planning data?

Your data stays on your device by default. If you enable encrypted sync, planner contents are encrypted before transmission and stored as encrypted sync data rather than readable planning records.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Since your data is stored locally, clearing your browser's site data will remove your planner data. We recommend exporting a backup regularly if you are using the planner without sync. With encrypted sync enabled, your data is safely stored encrypted on the server and will restore when you sign in again.

Can I switch from a cloud planner to WeekFlux?

Yes. WeekFlux supports importing tasks and data, and you can start planning locally immediately. Your previous planner's data can often be exported and brought into WeekFlux.
