About

WordCraft is a free, open-source word processor for people who write and format documents. Its ribbon interface provides editing and page-design tools for styles, tables, images, citations, footnotes, tables of contents, comments, and tracked changes, along with spelling and grammar checks and mail merge. It reads and writes DOCX, opens older DOC files, works with ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, LaTeX, and plain text, and exports PDF and page images. WordCraft runs as a native application on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and also has a WebAssembly edition that can be hosted on a static server. Its command-line tools, JSON control channel, and Model Context Protocol server support scripted and AI-agent document workflows. The software is in alpha, so file compatibility and feature coverage continue to develop.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have only tested AO8 - Write so my opinion is about Write for now. Write can import your old MS Words documents pretty well but not faithfully. Editing is more or less similar to Words. The menus are somewhat simpler but pretty limited compared to Words menus. For an alternative to MS Words, Write is a fine product if you start writing your own document in it. Do not import your old Word document for the reason I ponder in Cons.
  • I love that the program is much like Microsoft office but cheaper in price and in my opinion, much more user friendly. The program has all the same features as Office and similar setup.

Cons

  • 1. AO8 is used only in metric, no inches which is a downside. Computer printers are often designed using the imperial unit while metric is a little messier in computer terms. 1 in is easier to vision than 25.4mm, so does 0.5 in compared with 12.7mm or 0.25in with 6.35mm. This choice of metric-based unit also mess up with the fonts which also primarily designed with the imperial unit. In fact the whole computer was designed with the imperial unit. You would understand if you import an old Word document into Write. It is messier with the table, my table format is thrown out of it original format I had in Words.
  • I wish there was a way to fully customize the look and design to fit my own needs. By adding only the items I use regularly to the homepage instead of having to look for what I need.
