Craft is a tool for creating beautiful documents and notes and sharing your thoughts. Everything you crate in Craft can be shared with one tap. Craft supports inline markdown, backlinks, code snippets, images, videos, attaching PDF files, and rich link previews.
Available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
STRUCTURED & LINKED NOTES
Craft allows you to nest notes within notes - creating your own structure - and making thoughts easier to group and organize. It also allows you to create links and connections between pages via @page links easily.
FRICTIONLESS SHARING & EXPORT
With Craft, you can share your content via a link or collaborate with others in real-time. If you decide to export your content, you can choose between many export formats: Email, Markdown, TextBundle, PDF, Print Export.
WORKS ON ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES
You can use Craft on iPhones, iPads, Macs - you no longer need to switch tools as you move between devices.
ONLINE & OFFLINE
Craft works online and offline as well - it always stores all your documents on your device - so these are available independent from your network connection. More than that - you can keep editing these even without an internet connection, and Craft will upload changes once your connection is restored.
VISUAL CONTENT AS A FIRST CLASS CITIZEN
Most writing apps don’t treat images and videos as first-class citizens. We believe that these are just as an important part of creating and sharing content as text - so we made sure Craft integrates media beautifully.
… AND ALL THE SMALL DETAILS
We've made sure the Craft is "crafted" so it deserves this name - it's built with love, care, and attention to every detail - with to goal of providing you with a frictionless experience - resulting in you having to only focus on what you want to write - and not fighting the tool.

Logseq is a platform for knowledge sharing and management. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. Notice: the backend code will be open-sourced as soon as we’re sure that the backend service meets the security standards.
The server will never store or analyze your private notes. Your data are plain text files and we currently support both Markdown and Emacs Org mode (more to be added soon).
In the unlikely event that the website is down or cannot be maintained, your data is, and will always be yours.
