A little more time spent with it, mostly on the web through my Chromebook. So yes, the files are online. Although encryption is mentioned, I can’t find a way to do that. It has word count! And that’s something I’ve asked for at Dynalist for some time. So handy for writers.
I noticed one oddity. When I tried to sign up to follow on Twitter, it asked for a LOT of permissions, including the ability to post and delete tweets on my behalf. Um, no.

So here is the whole story. Dynalist developer says it is a Mubu clone, not Dynalist:

Worth noting some of what Erica said on the Dynalist forum (thanks to link posted above by @Luhman)—ByteDance owns TikTok:
>Back in April, Mubu was acquired by ByteDance. It wasn’t really a surprise to us, as we’re well aware of how small the outliner market currently is.
>Apparently, ByteDance saw potential in selling this kind of outliner to teams and businesses, bought Mubu,
>established Lark, and shoveled Transno there, probably reusing lots of the old Mubu code.
>And ByteDance has reached out to Dynalist about corporate development (a.k.a. buying your company) back in 2018,
>and they mentioned they’re trying to establish some business products in the United States to diversify their offerings.

Ah. One can “lock” files. But there is one password for all locked files.

Thanks for the background info on the company!
