A minimalist, distraction-free writing app that runs entirely in your browser.
Write over a calm background, pick a font, watch your word count, and save or
load your work as a plain .txt file. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
Your draft autosaves to the browser's local storage as you type, so a refresh
or crash won't lose your work. Preferences (font, size, background) persist
the same way. Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S) downloads the current text as a file.
No frameworks, no build step — just index.html, style.css, and
editor.js.
Serve the directory with any static file server and open it in a browser:
python3 -m http.server 8000
# then visit http://localhost:8000/(Opening index.html directly via file:// mostly works too, but some
browsers restrict the File API on file:// pages, so a local server is
recommended.)
This started as a 2012-era jQuery + Bootstrap project. The original version
is preserved in git history at the original-2012 tag.
