Cup of Sugar
A private cup of sugar in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
Good fences make good neighbours, but so does remembering who watered whose tomatoes in August. Cup of Sugar keeps the gentle ledger of neighbourhood favours — what was done, by or for whom, and whether the current state of affairs is They owe me, I owe them, or the blessed We're square. Not because anyone is counting, of course. But just in case.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Favour, Neighbour, Direction and Date) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of cup of sugar entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Questions people ask
Isn't it a bit petty to track favours with neighbours?
Tracking to collect would be. This is tracking to reciprocate — remembering that the people at number twelve took your bins out twice so you can be the one who offers next time. It is bookkeeping in the service of generosity.
Could my neighbours ever see this list?
Only over your shoulder. The tracker is a single HTML file that runs offline in your browser — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves the page. The ledger is yours alone, forever.
What does each entry record?
The favour, the neighbour, the direction — they owe me, I owe them, or we're square — the date, and any notes. Enough to keep the sugar flowing evenly up and down the street.
