All your data is in text format. It's a desktop app, so you don't really lose it, but if for some reason it disappears and your installed app stops working, all your data is already in a directory on your computer.


I mean, the data is the least I'm concerned about. It is the app itself and the way it works that it tightly integrated to my workflow.

In the case it shuts down, there's now way I'll spend my time redoing my workflow or grep stuffs over all now already scattered digital documents.
