Now, aside from the world map, the other major feature of Cotoami Remake is something called Database Networking. While the app is built around a personal, offline-first philosophy, a significant portion of development was dedicated to making this networking possible.

And to create that personal context, there’s something else I believe is essential: going out into the world and discovering things for yourself. In the age of AI, where machines can process and generate vast amounts of information, physically moving through space — traveling, visiting places, experiencing things firsthand — takes on even greater meaning.True discovery often requires physical presence. Even familiar places can reveal something new if you change your perspective. The journey itself — getting to the destination — offers countless opportunities for surprise and learning. Movement brings uncertainty, and that’s where discovery lives.The idea of combining the Knowledge Growth Cycle with real-world exploration was something I already had in mind back when I wrote my last article. As a programmer who used to be a homebody and only took conventional sightseeing trips, I started to ask: What would it mean to travel in a way only I could?To make that vision possible, I decided to integrate a world map directly into Cotoami.

Privacy: All data you create stays entirely on your own device.Data Portability: Your data is always yours. Cotoami saves everything in a standard SQLite database file, so you can access, read, or edit your notes using any tool that works with SQLite — even without Cotoami itself. Future versions of Cotoami will continue to support your existing data.Offline Availability: Cotoami does not rely on any online services — you can use it completely offline.All-in-One: No additional runtimes or dependencies are required. You can use Cotoami right after downloading it, and it’s designed to remain usable for as long as possible.
