Manifesto: A writing app without AI calmlywriter.com/no-ai.htm

We've updated the online version of Calmly Writer to make it more stable and reliable. We've also added some features that were previously only available in the desktop and Android apps: more themes, different types of typing sounds, language selection... www.calmlywriter.com/online/

We've added a feature in www.justwrite.page that you might find useful if you're experiencing writer's block: Sprint Mode - when you choose a word or time goal - presents you with a small challenge: reach that goal without stopping writing (if you stop, you lose the game).

We have released update 3.0.5, which includes the following new features: - In the settings, under Save settings, you can enable auto-save for files (this eliminates the need to save manually if you want every change to be saved to the original file as well). - The backup history has been improved.

Yes! And it's so calm here. No wonder you guys moved! :) Can't wait to go back into writing with the app again and looking forward to your updates, as always!

I've been searching a new, simple word processor for a long time. I HATE MS word. And today, I think I may have found it. It's perfect for simple notes and distraction-free longform writing. Bravo! 👏 @calmlywriter.com

My new yearʼs resolution in January was to take the idea for a novel I had and actually write it. Always compelled by a looming deadline, I finally finished this week. Whether itʼs any good is, frankly, a question for next year.

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

Another friday, another reason to cling onto @calmlywriter.com in order to write without losing a grip of reality 🤌

In the latest update of the desktop app (2.0.58) we have introduced a new feature to navigate through the document using its table of contents. The icon is hidden when you start typing (it is also possible to disable the feature from settings).
