Local-first writing

A calm place to write.

Minimal Writer is a distraction-free writing app focused on the text — with a document library, a heading organizer, and autosave that just works. Offline by default, yours forever.

No account needed to start. Works right in your browser.

Distraction-free modes

Standard, Focus, and Zen. Focus dims everything but the line you’re writing; Zen also keeps it centered on screen.

Outline organizer

Restructure a document by its headings with drag-and-drop. Move a section and its sub-sections come along.

Local-first & offline

Everything is stored in your browser and works offline. Optional cloud sync keeps your documents on every device.

Autosave you forget about

Your writing is saved as you type, and flushed the moment you switch away. No save button, no lost work.

Calm by design

A warm, paper-like canvas, a quiet serif, and just enough interface. Nothing between you and the words.

Installable PWA

Add it to your dock or home screen and it opens like a native app — dark mode and fullscreen included.

Ready when you are.

Open a blank page and start. Your words stay on your device until you choose to sync.
