Writing
A desktop app that keeps drafts and research together, with your files on your own machine.
Writing is a desktop workspace for drafting and research. Your drafts live in local files, alongside the material you’re drawing from.
A lot of the work is about keeping that material intact as a draft changes. Citations should still point to the right passage, old documents should still open correctly, and recovering from a crash shouldn’t overwrite something you meant to keep.
It’s built with Rust and Tauri, with a rich-text editor for the writing itself.
Keep the draft and its context.
A draft is more than a page of text. Earlier versions, source material, and the passages you’ve cited need to stay connected.
- Ordinary files
- Drafts and research live in local files. The app’s database helps find and organize them.
- Recovery you control
- After a crash, you can review a recovered draft before replacing the saved version.
Editing, revision history, and source research are working. I’m still testing everyday use and improving exports.
