zDossier: People Notebook

zDossier is a private notebook for the people, places, and things in your life. Keep the details worth remembering, such as how you met, a friend's favorite dish, a colleague's children's names, or the restaurant you keep meaning to go back to, and see how they all connect.

Your notebook stays on your iPhone or iPad. There's no account to make, no server, no ads, and no tracking.

RELATIONSHIPS
• Link entries to each other: Spouse, Father of, Child of, Friend, Colleague, Works at, Regular at, and more, or name your own.
• Each relationship reads correctly from both sides, so a person Works at a business and the business Employs that person.
• Follow a relationship from one entry to the next, and see how entries connect, one step out and beyond.

PRIVATE AND SECURE
• Lock zDossier with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and hide its contents in the app switcher.
• Export the whole notebook or chosen entries as a file to back up or move to another device, and protect it with a passphrase if you like.
• Open a zDossier file from Files, AirDrop, or Mail. You see what it holds before anything is imported.
• Erase the notebook on this device at any time from Settings.

ONE NOTEBOOK FOR EVERYTHING
• Keep people, restaurants, businesses, and places together. Every entry has a category, and you can add, rename, recolor, reorder, or delete categories.
• Each category shows the fields that fit it: a restaurant shows Cuisine, Price, and Dishes I Liked, and a person shows the details you keep about people.
• Add, rename, hide, or reorder fields and groups. Dates use a date picker, numbers use your own format, and yes-or-no fields use checkmarks.
• Give any entry dated notes and tags, and filter the notebook by category or tag. Search ignores case, accents, and punctuation.

CONTACTS, YOUR WAY
• Import from Contacts or a vCard file, or pick just the contacts you want, which needs no Contacts access at all. zDossier asks before it imports.
• Related names on a contact card, such as a spouse or a parent, are offered as relationships for you to accept or dismiss.
• zDossier never reads contact notes. The only thing it writes to Contacts is an optional "zDossier" link back to each entry you import.

BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
• On iPad, the sidebar, the list, and the entry sit side by side, with keyboard shortcuts for New Entry, Find, and Delete.
• In a narrow window or in Slide Over, zDossier switches to tabs, as on iPhone, and keeps your place.
• zDossier follows Light and Dark Mode.

Try it with sample entries, such as Isaac Newton, Café Procope, and The Royal Mint, then delete them when you're ready to start your own.
