About
Why Skrive exists.
Skrive is one home for everything you write — notes, drafts, documents — kept as plain files you own. It exists because nothing else felt like home: my writing lived scattered across apps that were too heavy, too cold, or that drifted from what they set out to be.
Plain files, always
Your work is a folder of .md on your disk. No database,
no proprietary format, no vault to import into or escape from. Open a
folder you already have — notes, drafts, a site's content, an
export from somewhere else — and Skrive just edits it. If Skrive
disappeared tomorrow, every file would still be plain text, readable
anywhere.
Everything connects
Link any note to another, and Skrive keeps the thread in both directions. Your writing stops being a pile of files and becomes a web you can wander — the more you write, the more it connects.
Formatted as you write
Skrive keeps your Markdown formatted while you work, with the raw text always within reach — rest your cursor on a line to see its source, or flip the whole document to plain Markdown whenever you like. The calm of a finished page and the honesty of plain text, together.
Local first
Everything works offline, on your own machine, by default. No account to create, nothing to sync before you can write.
A foundation, not a ceiling
Plain text is where Skrive begins, not where it ends. It's built to grow — deeper connections between your notes, richer documents, more ways to make it your own — without ever giving up the calm, or the plain files underneath.
Built slowly, on purpose
Skrive is made with care, a little at a time. It's notarized for macOS on Apple Silicon, runs on Windows, and is source-available so you can read exactly how it works.
