That looks terrific and the price is fair. I am concerned about no open source local client - I don't want to rely on the company if it goes belly up (which is why I actually like paying).

I just recently moved to Org Mode but if I were still in the Markdown ecosystem I would give this tool serious consideration.

open-sourcing is on our roadmap (https://roadmap.acreom.com), when it comes to the data ownership & privacy, acreom is built on technical decisions to deliver both in full fashion.

it's local-first, all your data is stored on your device as regular markdown (no custom md flavor) and works fully offline.

the (optional) sync is free and E2E encrypted.

when it's open source, let us know.

Too many companies have it on the roadmap and never deliver.

I'm working on something similar (i.e. a content editor for developers) with Vrite, that's already open-source: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite

It's not the same as acreom (leaning more towards a CMS-like platform with API, real-time collab, etc.), but is well-suited for e.g. creating knowledge bases.

For Org Mode maybe this app would be something similar as it also focuses on projects and tasks on textfile basis: https://easyorgmode.com/
