kindling
Free, open-source writing app that keeps your outline beside the draft
kindling is a free, open-source desktop writing app for fiction writers who outline. Each scene opens with its beats as prompts, with your characters, locations and notes close at hand, so you draft from the plan instead of a blank page.

Export to DOCX (Standard Manuscript Format), EPUB, HTML, plain text or Markdown, or back to Scrivener, Longform and novelWriter. New in 1.3: editorial review, an export workspace with saved profiles, writing goals and statistics, and custom shortcuts. No AI, no subscription, no account. Projects are local SQLite files and the app has no analytics or telemetry; it goes online only for updates and optional feedback. MIT licensed, for macOS, Windows and Linux. -

Crowbook
Converts books written in Markdown to HTML, LaTeX/PDF and EPUB
Crowbook's aim is to allow you to write a book in Markdown without worrying about formatting or typography and let the program generate HTML, PDF and EPUB output for you. Its focus is novels and fiction, and the default settings should (hopefully) generate readable books with correct typography without requiring you to worry about it. To see what Crowbook's output looks like, you can read the Crowbook guide rendered in HTML, PDF or EPUB. Crowbook will parse this file and generate HTML, EPUB, and/or PDF output formats, according to the settings in the configuration file. Crowbook supports HTML, PDF and EPUB (either version 2 or 3) as output formats. See the Crowbook User Guide rendered in HTML, EPUB and PDF. Crowbook uses pulldown-cmark and thus should support most of CommonMark Markdown. -

Ferrite
A fast, lightweight text editor for Markdown, JSON, YAML, and TOML
Ferrite is a fast, lightweight desktop text editor built for people who spend a lot of time working in structured text formats and want a snappy, native-feeling app instead of a heavy IDE. It focuses on common “config and docs” formats like Markdown and popular structured data files, so it fits naturally into developer, DevOps, and technical writing workflows. The editor is designed around responsiveness and low overhead, prioritizing quick startup, smooth scrolling, and predictable editing even when you are jumping between many small files. It also aims to reduce friction when reading and tweaking structured documents by offering format-aware conveniences and a UI that stays out of the way. Ferrite positions itself as a pragmatic daily driver for notes, documentation, and configuration edits, especially when you do not need a full language server stack. -

OpenTheBook
Distraction-free desktop reader for PDF, EPUB, AZW3, and MOBI books
OpenTheBook is a free, lightweight desktop reader for PDF, EPUB, AZW3, and MOBI files. It is intentionally not a book library: install it, double-click a book, and read. No account, no clutter, no cost. First release targets Windows and Ubuntu/Linux. -

Xi Editor
A modern editor with a backend written in Rust
xi Editor (often styled “Xi”) is a project to build a modern, high-performance text editor designed for large files, extensibility, and native UI integration. Its architecture splits a thin UI layer from a high-performance core engine (written in Rust) that handles buffer editing, syntax highlighting, undo/redo, searching, and background processing asynchronously. This separation lets the core focus on speed and concurrency, while multiple frontends (macOS, GTK, web) handle rendering, input, and platform bridging. Xi is designed to scale to huge files (gigabyte scale) without lag, thanks to a rope data structure and efficient diffing algorithms. Plugins communicate with the core via JSON-RPC, enabling asynchronous extensions without blocking editing responsiveness. The overall aim is to reimagine text editing for modern machines and workflows, delivering scalability, modularity, and an editor architecture built for the next decade. -

Zee
A modern text editor for the terminal written in Rust
Zee is a modern editor for the terminal, in the spirit of Emacs. It is written in Rust and it is somewhat experimental. In the old tradition of text editor demos, here's what it currently looks like editing its own source code. -

markdown-oxide
Robust, Minimalist, Unbundled PKM for your text-editor through LSP
Markdown-Oxide is a Personal Knowledge Management System(PKM) that composes with your favorite text editor through the Language Server Protocol(LSP). While other PKMs implement their own text editors, markdown-oxide is unbundled: it leaves text editing to a dedicated text editor and focuses solely on robust, performant knowledge management. -

markdown-rs
CommonMark compliant markdown parser in Rust with ASTs and extensions
markdown-rs is an open-source markdown parser written in Rust. It’s implemented as a state machine (#![no_std] + alloc) that emits concrete tokens, so that every byte is accounted for, with positional info. The API then exposes this information as an AST, which is easier to work with, or it compiles directly to HTML. While most markdown parsers work towards compliancy with CommonMark (or GFM), this project goes further by following how the reference parsers (cmark, cmark-gfm) work, which is confirmed with thousands of extra tests. Other than CommonMark and GFM, this project also supports common extensions to markdown such as MDX, math, and frontmatter. -

riddle
The diary of Tom Riddle for the reMarkable Paper Pro
Riddle turns a reMarkable Paper Pro into an interactive AI-powered version of Tom Riddle's enchanted diary. Users write directly on the e-ink page, pause, and watch their ink fade before a handwritten response appears stroke by stroke. The Rust application captures pressure-sensitive pen events, converts completed pages to images, and sends them to a vision-capable language model. Responses are transformed into thin pen paths and animated through either a windowed display or a low-latency full-screen takeover mode. Finished pages can be stored locally with their pen strokes, transcription, and reply for later recall. The pen remains the primary interface, with gestures for erasing, opening help, retrieving memories, and leaving the application. Installation requires developer access and currently targets specific reMarkable Paper Pro software versions, so users modify the device at their own risk. -

zola (né Gutenberg)
Fast static site generator in a single binary with everything built-in
A fast static site generator in a single binary with everything built in. Forget dependencies. Everything you need in one binary. Zola comes as a single executable with Sass compilation, syntax highlighting, table of contents and many other features that traditionally require setting up a dev environment or adding some JavaScript libraries to your site. The average site will be generated in less than a second, including Sass compilation and syntax highlighting. Zola renders your whole site as static files, making it trivial to handle any kind of traffic you will throw at it at no cost without having to worry about managing a server or a database. From the CLI to the template engine, everything is designed to be intuitive. Don't take my word for it though, look at the documentation and see for yourself.
