Ochre

Your creative notebook

Your creative notebook

A fragment begins as a voice memo. Weeks later you add a few lines and it becomes a draft; later still, one of those lines ends up in a song.

Ochre keeps that whole history, across text, voice, photos, and sketches. Your work stays on your device. Built for poets, songwriters, writers, composers, and visual artists.

Ochre is coming soon.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ochre?
Ochre is a private creative notebook. It captures fragments, voice memos, photographs, and scribbled lines, and keeps them all in one place with every version preserved. It is built for poets, songwriters, writers, composers, and visual artists.
Is Ochre private?
Yes. Ochre is local-first and encrypted. Your archive lives on your device in a file encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, and it is encrypted before it ever leaves your device. Even the makers of the app cannot read your work.
Does Ochre use my work to train AI models?
No. Nothing you write or record in Ochre is used to train models. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to export or back up.
Who is Ochre for?
Ochre is built for poets, songwriters, writers, composers, and visual artists, anyone who wants to keep fragments, drafts, and finished work together with the full history of how it was made.
Can I recover my work if I lose my device?
Yes. You can create a zero-knowledge encrypted backup with your account. Only ciphertext is ever uploaded, so the backup service can never read it. On a new device, your recovery phrase is the key that restores your archive.
