关于知新阁About Zhixin Ge

温故以知新,藏思于一隅。Revisit the old to find the new; keep your thinking in a quiet corner.

这几年,工具变聪明得有点吓人。AI 能替我读、替我写、替我想;代价是我交出去的东西也前所未有地多——一张票据、一份还没签的合同、一段还没想清楚的心里话,为了用上一个功能,先得传到某台我看不见的服务器上。Tools have grown clever in a way that is almost unsettling. AI reads for me, writes for me, thinks alongside me — and the price is that I hand over more than ever: a receipt, an unsigned contract, a half-formed thought. All of it has to travel to some server I cannot see, just to use a single feature.

外面也很吵。热点一天换一个,注意力被切成碎片,人人都在证明自己在场。物欲横流这四个字,放在今天不算夸张——我们被推着买、被推着展示、被推着把生活摊开给别人看。And it is loud out there. Topics turn over daily, attention is sliced into fragments, and everyone is busy proving they are present. A world driven by appetite is not an exaggeration today: we are pushed to buy, pushed to display, pushed to spread our lives out for others to look at.

我做了十几年软件开发,见过太多系统在后台安安静静地攒着用户的东西。所以后来越来越想做另一类东西:不喧哗、不上传、也不需要注册。你写下的字、处理的文件,都留在你自己的设备上;该加密的加密,钥匙在你手里。一方不被打扰的地方,本身就是一种安全感。I have written software for over a decade, and I have seen too many systems quietly hoarding what their users give them. So I drifted toward a different kind of thing: nothing loud, nothing uploaded, no sign-up required. The words you write and the files you handle stay on your own device — encrypted where encryption makes sense, with the key in your hand. A corner that nobody disturbs is, by itself, a form of safety.

在这个初衷下,有了知新阁。名字取了两句老话:「温故而知新」管笔记——写下来,隔一阵再读,才慢慢长成自己的判断;「凡事预则立」管准备——该提前备好的提前备好,真到用的时候不慌。Zhixin Ge grew out of that. The name borrows two old sayings: “revisit the old and you may find something new” governs the notes — write it down, reread it later, and it slowly turns into your own judgement; “everything succeeds with preparation” governs the getting-ready — stock it up early, and the moment itself stays unhurried.

不变的三条Three things that don't change

  1. 本地优先Local first能在你自己设备上完成的,就不送去服务器。If it can be done on your device, it doesn't get sent to a server.
  2. 不追热点No chasing trends写下来的是自己先受用的东西,不是当天的热闹。What gets written down is what I've used myself, not the noise of the day.
  3. 不做账号体系No accounts没有登录,也就没有你的数据可以采集。No login means nothing of yours to collect.
