• Fast search through all pages.
• Save and open links to other apps and webpages.
• Uses no network connection. All content is local on the device.

Origin
This is a (now distant) fork of billthefarmer's Diary: https://github.com/billthefarmer/diary
PTO has a lot of internal and UI changes. It focuses on usage as a general organizer instead of a Diary, though it can still be used as such, if you don't need the removed features. Most notably the markdown view has been removed, so no inline media can be displayed.
See the help file for more differences: https://gitlab.com/ferreum/pto/-/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/help.md#origin
