wrdly

a quiet place to write

Write like the room is empty.

wrdly keeps the sentence you're writing centered on the screen and fades everything else away — the focus of a typewriter, the convenience of the cloud, and a path all the way to a printed book.

chapter-one · wrdly

Not a video — a working miniature of the editor. Click in, type, arrow through it, drag the focus slider.

Everything a draft needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Typewriter focus

The line you're writing stays centered, like paper in a carriage. Everything above and below fades to nothing — you choose how many lines stay lit, from 3 to 20.

Real formatting, zero chrome

⌘B, ⌘I, ⌘U, strikethrough, and a special narrow verse block for epigraphs, lyrics, and quoted poetry. On phones and tablets, a touch toolbar appears instead.

Built for books

Projects hold chapters, sections, scenes, and notes. Drag to reorder, drag between projects, rename inline. Your outline lives beside your words.

Autosave you can forget about

Every keystroke is saved to your account within a second — and flushed when you close the tab, switch apps, or sign out. Same on your phone.

Your words stay yours

Export any chapter or the whole book as Markdown (formatting intact) or plain text, any time. No lock-in, no proprietary format.

The UI gets out of the way

Start typing and the interface literally fades off the screen. Move the mouse and it returns. It's you and the sentence.

wrdly press

The draft is half the story.

Most writing apps stop at the last sentence. wrdly comes with a companion press that turns the project you wrote into a book you can ship — same account, same words, no copy-pasting.

01

Write in wrdly

Draft your chapters in focus mode. The organizer keeps the book's structure — chapters, scenes, notes — as you go.

02

Compile in press

One click pulls your chapters into a publication and builds a real EPUB — table of contents, formatting, verse blocks and all.

03

Hold the book

Pick a trim size, estimate print costs, and order proof copies through print-on-demand. From draft to doorstep.

EPUB export is live today; print-ready typesetting and print-on-demand ordering are on the bench next. Visit press →

Why writers pick wrdly

Focus is a feature, not a mode. Other editors show you the whole page and call a full-screen toggle "focus." wrdly is built around a focus band — the fade isn't decoration, it's how the editor works, tuned line-by-line to how many sentences you want in view.

One account, draft to doorstep. Writing and publishing share one login and one database. The chapter you finish tonight is the chapter press compiles tomorrow — no exports, uploads, or format conversions between your tools.

Plain-text honest. Your words are stored as clean, minimal markup and export to Markdown or plain text in one click. If you ever leave, everything walks out with you.

Small on purpose. No comments, no AI popups, no collaboration cursors blinking at you. wrdly is for the part of writing that happens alone.

The page is waiting.
