Retrospective
A private retrospective 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.
The project ends, everyone exhales, and the lessons quietly evaporate before the next one begins. The Retrospective catches them while they're warm: for each week or project, what went well, what could improve, and the actions you actually intend to take.
What it keeps
- Week / projectshort text
- What went wellnotes
- What could improvenotes
- Actionsnotes
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 (Week / project, What went well, What could improve and Actions) 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 retrospective 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.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Week / project, What went well, What could improve and Actions never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working.

Questions people ask
How do I run a simple retrospective?
Name the week or project, then fill the three boxes: what went well, what could improve, and actions. The discipline is in writing the actions down — the tool keeps them where next time can find them.
Where is my retrospective data stored?
On your machine and nowhere else. The tool is one HTML file running offline in your browser — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves the page. Candid notes deserve that kind of privacy.
Can I use this for personal retrospectives, not just team ones?
Yes, and it's underrated. A monthly retro on your own life — same three questions — takes fifteen minutes and reads remarkably well a year later.
