I don’t want distraction. I don’t want more features.

I want simplicity. I want focus. I want to write.

Blank is a lean word processor set with the most essential features and nothing else.

Blank isn't code-signed yet, so the first time you open it your system may warn that it's from an unknown developer. It's safe, here's how to open it:

  • macOS: right-click the app, choose Open, then Open again.
  • Windows: if you see "Windows protected your PC," click More info, then Run anyway.
  • Linux: extract the archive, then run ./blank (add --no-sandbox if it complains).
