Everything you need to write, focus, and share.
From a single distraction-free page to a shared team workspace to a public Community — every feature here is something writers actually asked for, not generic bloat.
Study Mode
Split-screen a PDF, document, or website next to your notes. Read on one side, write on the other — no tab switching.
Group workspaces
Create a shared space with notes, chat, and files. Everyone in the group sees edits and messages the instant they happen — no refresh.
Community
Publish a note or write a post to a public feed, organized by topic. Get feedback through votes and comments — moderated, and entirely optional.
Pomodoro Timer
A built-in focus timer that lives right in your editor, so deep work sessions don't need a separate app.
Private by default
Share a note publicly, as a hidden unguessable link, or password-protect it. Every note starts visible to no one but you.
Export anywhere
Word, PDF, Markdown, RTF, ePub, TextBundle — your notes are never locked in.
How it works
From a blank page to a finished, shared note — in three simple steps.
Write
Open a blank note and start typing immediately — no setup, no loading spinner, nothing competing for your attention.
Focus
Split into Study Mode to read a source alongside your notes, and run a Pomodoro session to stay in the zone.
Share — or don't
Keep it private, send a hidden link, invite your team to a group, or lock it with a password. You choose, every single time.
