Owldo for Journalists

Every story’s notes and follow-ups, in one fast place.

Reporting produces notes and leads faster than any tool can file them, and the follow-ups scatter across apps. Owldo keeps each story’s notes and its next steps together, captured fast and stored offline.

Owldo for Journalists

A Space per story or beat

Interview notes, background, and the "call the second source" task live in one Space per story. Pick a story back up and the thread is intact.

Capture in the field

Owldo is offline-first and opens instantly, so a note taken in a basement, a courthouse, or a dead zone is saved locally and syncs later — the connection is never a dependency.

Own your notes

Local-first storage means your reporting lives on your device and syncs only when you choose, export anytime — and optional end-to-end encryption keeps sources unreadable to anyone but you, even after sync.

Does Owldo work offline for reporting in the field?

Yes — Owldo is offline-first, saving notes to a local database and syncing when you reconnect, so the field is never a blocker.

Can I keep each story’s notes separate?

Yes — a Space per story or beat keeps notes and follow-up tasks together and organized.

Are my sources and notes private in Owldo?

Owldo is local-first, so notes stay on your device by default, and optional end-to-end encryption keeps them unreadable to anyone but you even after sync — useful for protecting sources.
