This. I want this. It happens to me quite often that I feel demotivated or uneasy about using some software because I know I'm producing valuable data specific to me that I could use in the future, but the product stipulates that I don't get to keep the data. iOS apps are often the worst at this. There's no filesystem, so all data has to be kept with an app. I loaded all of the books I wanted to read into iBooks, and then it turned out that the iOS backup skips books that you didn't buy from Apple. Bye bye book collection T_T. Some of this could also be alleviated by Tim Berners-Lee's pod idea: https://solid.inrupt.com/ https://solid.inrupt.com/. But local-first is better. I just want files on my machine.
