A blank canvas
for writing.

Open it and start typing. No toolbars, no folders to choose, no formatting decisions. Everything you write is saved on your own machine as plain Markdown.

Free and open source · macOS, Windows and Linux

Built to get out of the way

Everything here exists to remove a reason to stop typing.

Markdown, rendered as you type

No preview pane, no split screen. Formatting appears inline the moment you type it, and one switch turns all of it off for a completely uniform page.

The sentence before this one.
The sentence you are writing.
And the one after it.

Focus on one sentence

Dim everything except the line, sentence or paragraph you are in. Typewriter scrolling keeps that line at a fixed height instead of sinking to the bottom.

the text can only grow

Turn off the backspace key

For when editing is the thing stopping you. Deleting, cutting and undo are all blocked, not just the one key, so the only way out is forward.

The first launch is blocked on macOS and Windows. These builds are not code-signed yet, so your system cannot verify the publisher. Nothing is wrong with the app, and it takes about thirty seconds to allow it, once. Read the install guide →
