Notes as it should have been. Built for people who just want to write, without nonsense.

No account. No AI. No subscription. Entirely on your computer, nowhere else.

Meet Darkwrite, the free and open source workspace that gets out of your way.

Everything you'd expect from documents

Tables, images, to-dos, lists, links, code, and much more. Create beautiful documents with custom colors and fonts, not limits. Export PDFs without losing your fonts, what you choose is what you get.

Looks and feels how you wish

Say goodbye to the boring light and dark themes. Choose one of the included themes, or create your own. Choose any font you wish, for any part of the app, we won't resist.

Fully offline and open-source

Darkwrite isn't a SaaS product. It runs entirely on your computer, completely offline. There are no forced updates, no license checks, no lockouts, no data collection. The source code is open for anyone who wishes to see the inner workings.

No AI by design. Your notes never become training data, and you don't get distracted by hallucinations.

Your notes are never held hostage. All your notes can be exported as HTML pages with one click, and you can move them elsewhere if you ever wish to leave.

Ready to write in peace?

Just download the app from our website, and you are ready to go. No account needed.

The full source code is on GitHub. Not a single line is hidden from you.
