Scroll sideways on a phone. The first column stays put. Shield is in the table because it was the benchmark until May, and because what happened to it is the reason the storage row matters.

The one difference underneath every row
Every other tool in the table your history is written on their disk
Your LinkedInSigned in as you
An extension or an API keyThe vendor's route in
Vendor serversThe only copy of your record
A dashboard you rentFor as long as both survive
Everpost the same reading, one fewer party
Your LinkedInSigned in as you, in a real browser window
A desktop appNo extension, no account, no server
SQLite file, your diskOpens in any SQLite reader, with or without the app
Price, account exposure and what happens when a vendor exits all follow from that one line. 2026 turned it from a design preference into an observed outcome three times.
When Everpost is the wrong choice
Buy something else
You post to more than one networkBuffer does eleven, Typefully five. This does one.
You run a team or an advocacy programmeNo shared dashboard, no roll up. The database is on one machine.
You want a library of other people's postsThere is not one. It reads your own published posts instead.
You want it in a browser on any deviceLocal storage cuts both ways and this is the side that cuts against you.
Compliance has to sign off the tool"Our vendor is in LinkedIn's partner programme" is an easier conversation.
This is the right one
You want a record past LinkedIn's window365 days for a page, shorter for a profile, and no vendor exit can end it.
Your network and messages stay off serversThere is no Everpost server for them to go to.
You already know what to sayYou want a better composer, not an idea generator.
You want one tool, not three subscriptionsWriting, analytics, pipeline and graph in the same window.
Free actually means freeNo card, no account, no trial clock.
What the local one looks like
The first number on the first screen is how much history the file holds, because that is the one thing on this page you cannot buy back later.
210 characters before the fold on desktop, counted while you type.
167 connections across 13 companies, built from LinkedIn's own data archive.
Rules that read and remind, marked reads only, with one kill switch over all of them.
