Files you own
Online keeps your documents in the browser's storage, and clearing the browser's data erases them. The app writes ordinary files that you can copy, back up, sync and open in any other program.
Nothing lost
The app keeps permanent backups and a version history of every document, so you can go back to an earlier version whenever you need to.
Room for long work
Several documents in tabs, a table of contents, comments, find and replace and writing targets: what a novel, a thesis or a long article needs.
Start writing calmly
Choose where you want to write. Both are a single payment, with no subscription.
Android
The same Calmly Writer on your phone, tablet or Chromebook, on Google Play.
