About Palarid
A private workspace for the ordinary admin of being a person — your day, your money, your habits, your notes — where the data stays on your own device.
Why it exists
Most of the software that helps you organise your life does it by taking custody of your life. You hand over your spending, your sleep, your weight, your worries, and in return you get a dashboard — and a company that now holds a detailed record of you, sells or analyses it, changes its terms, gets acquired, or gets breached.
That trade never made sense for the mundane stuff. Working out whether you can afford a house, tracking whether you actually slept, keeping a list of what needs doing this week — none of it requires a server. It runs perfectly well in a browser tab. So Palarid does it there.
What it actually is
Palarid is one web application containing more than a hundred practical tools — calculators, planners, trackers, writing tools, reference material — organised into seven areas: Today, Life, Money, Health, Create, Learn and Explore. In September 2026 we retired almost three hundred tools that did not earn their place, so that the ones that matter are easy to find. There is no account. You open it and it works.
Everything you enter is written to storage inside your own browser. We have no database of users, because there are no user records to keep.
Who it is for
- People who want to get organised without subscribing to five different apps.
- People who are uneasy about handing financial or health details to another company.
- People who need a specific tool once — a mortgage comparison, a sleep-debt figure — without signing up for anything.
- People who like the idea of one place that quietly accumulates useful history over time.
What Palarid will not do
- We will not sell or share your personal content.
- We will not run behavioural tracking, and we will not put advertising beside your personal tools.
- We will not describe something as private, encrypted, offline or live when it is not.
- We will not remove access to data you have already created, whatever happens commercially.
- We will not put emergency information, accessibility features, privacy controls or data export behind a payment.
Being straight about what this is
Palarid is a small independent project, not a large company. There is no office, no support desk and no venture funding. Saying otherwise would be easy and would be untrue.
Some consequences you should know: response times are slower than a funded company's; there is no multi-device sync yet; and because your data lives only in your browser, clearing your browser data will delete it. Export a backup from time to time. We would rather tell you that plainly than let you discover it the hard way.
How it is funded
Palarid is free, and the core will stay free. Nothing is charged today and no payment is collected. The intended future model is a paid tier for the things local-only storage genuinely cannot do — encrypted sync across devices, backup, and higher AI limits — because those cost real money to run. Everything that works today will keep working without paying.
If and when that arrives, it will be announced clearly. There will be no countdown timers, no artificial scarcity and no "limited time" pricing.
