What is needed to write about Writ accurately, in one place.
The facts
| Name | Writ. Capital W, no article, never "Writ app". |
| One line | Notes kept as Markdown files, with links and a graph, and an MCP server so the assistant you already use can read them. |
| What it does | Keeps every note as a Markdown file in a folder you can open. Wikilinks, backlinks, tags and properties are read from the files; a Connections panel and a graph show them. Markdown, HTML, Mermaid and KaTeX render beside the source. One hotkey brings the window over any app. An MCP server lets a program the user approves read, and separately write, notes; a chat pane sends only the notes the user attaches. |
| Platforms | macOS 12+, Windows 10+, Linux (x86_64). |
| Price and license | Free. Open source under MIT. |
| Current version | 0.4.0, released 2026-09-06. |
| Public since | April 2026. Source, decision records and release history at github.com/ibrahemid/writ. |
| Made by | Ibrahem (ibrahemid on GitHub), one person. |
| Built with | Rust and Tauri 2 for the shell; SolidJS and CodeMirror 6 for the editor; SQLite for the index. |
| Privacy | Offline, no account, no telemetry. Rewriting, chat and connected programs are off by default; the first send to any host and the first call from any program wait for the user's approval. |

Captures of the real app at 2x are in the repo under docs/media and docs/design. Take your own freely; the window is the product.
How to describe it
- "Notes on disk", "notes as files", "a notes app". Not "markdown editor" as the headline, and not "IDE".
- Next to Obsidian, not against it: Writ opens a folder written in Obsidian as it is, and has no plugins, mobile app or sync.
- No performance numbers have been published. Please do not cite one.
