Full-screen, distraction-free canvas
The menu bar, tabs, and status bar fade away after a few seconds of writing. All that remains is your words and a blinking cursor. Formatting appears only when you select text.

Everything you need to write, nothing you don't
CalmTyper has just enough tools to support your writing — and nothing to get in the way.
Private by design, not by promise
Your writing is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. No account, no server, no cloud, no cookies, no analytics. Nothing ever leaves your device.
Auto-saved with 50-version history
Every pause triggers a save. CalmTyper keeps up to 50 snapshots per document automatically. Browse your version history and restore any previous save with one click.
Multiple writing spaces, one screen
Organize different documents in tabs. Create, rename, and drag to reorder your writing spaces — with smooth transitions and no file system complexity.
Keyboard shortcuts for everything
Command palette, focus mode, find and replace, settings, and markdown shortcuts — all from the keyboard. The mouse is entirely optional.
Export as Markdown, text, HTML, or PDF
Take your writing anywhere. Export to .md, .txt, or .html. Print to PDF. Copy as Markdown to paste directly into your blog or CMS.
