This is really, really cool. One-time $60 seems extremely fair. The one nit I had was that I couldn't figure out where the files would be stored. It seems like local, but maybe it's cloud?

I'd want it to be local and would like some moderate assurance that I could build an alternative UI if I so choose to.

I'm glad you liked it! I thought from the start to ask for a price that I myself would pay. The files are stored locally, so there's no cloud involved at the moment.

The attachments are stored as files in a directory, while annotations, notes and the folder structure are written to a SQLite database. I haven't made commitments yet regarding the database format, but I could look into documenting and creating compatibility requirements for it.

Is that something you need?
