Arkiv
Norwegian for “archive”
Your databases, on your Mac.
Arkiv is databases the way Notion does them — rows that are pages, views that remember their filters — but local, fast and yours. No workspace, no seat price, no sync you didn't ask for.

What it does
Rows are pages
Every row has properties and a Markdown body, written or previewed.
Property types
Text, number, select, multi-select, date and checkbox.
Saved views
Filters with nested AND/OR, sorting, grouping and which properties show.
Peek, don't leave
Open a page in side peek, center peek or full page.
⌘K finds anything
Search titles, bodies and properties across every database.
Safe autosave
Conflict checks mean a stale window never overwrites newer work.
MCP built in
13 tools over stdio and HTTP, so agents can read and file things for you.
Plain SQLite
Local SQLite, no cloud account. Export everything to Markdown.
Instead of Notion databases, Airtable, Tap Forms — and the subscription that comes with them.
€79, once.
A Arkiv licence for life, on all your Macs. 14-day money-back.
