Privacy-First Project Management App

A native project management tool (iOS, iPad, Mac) that keeps all data local-first with optional iCloud sync, addressing privacy concerns with existing cloud-based PM tools. Built for users who want collaboration without sacrificing data privacy.

Privacy anxiety around SaaS tools is real and growing, especially post-Basecamp-drama and as more teams handle sensitive client work under GDPR or HIPAA constraints. Craft and Things 3 have proven the local-first native Mac/iOS productivity market will pay premium prices, and Notion's aggressive cloud-only stance leaves a genuine gap for users who want structure without surveillance. The $2k–$10k/mo band is plausible if you can charge $30–50/year per user and convert even a small slice of the privacy-conscious freelancer and small agency segment, but it assumes you solve real-time collaboration locally, which is technically hard and where most solo devs stall. The biggest risk is that most users who claim to care about privacy don't actually switch tools over it — they tolerate cloud storage and the market for people who will pay a premium to avoid it is smaller and harder to reach than Reddit threads make it appear.
