About

Traditional word processors include dozens of options for formatting text, distracting you from what really matters, writing. Calmly Writer is an editor designed to focus on what you want to tell, with a simple, unobtrusive, and easy-to-use user interface. Calmly Writer has been designed to help you focus on writing. As you start typing, all the distracting options disappear from the user interface. The "focus mode" option highlights only the paragraph you are editing at the time. Format your text simply by selecting and clicking on the desired style. If you prefer, you can also do it with keyboard shortcuts or markdown. As long as you do not close a document tab, that document will be opened every time you start the application. If the document was not saved, its backup will be loaded. Calmly Writer displays the number of words and characters written, and allows you to set a target. You can choose between light, dark, dark blue, dune and old-school mode.

About

TK is a cloud-based writing workspace from Medium for writers, journalers, and people developing ideas through writing. Its editor supports notes and drafts, with an inline @TK assistant for research, retrieving earlier writing, and editorial or headline feedback. Prompts and shared libraries help users develop ideas and exchange drafts for discussion. TK can turn notes and research into wiki-style knowledge bases linked to a writer’s accumulated material. Users can import Medium writing, Bear or Obsidian vaults, and Markdown files, then export notes or an archive as Markdown. Android and iOS apps and mobile widgets support voice or text capture; an MCP server and Claude skill let compatible AI agents access TK content. TK supports journaling, research, long-form drafting, feedback, and preparing work for publication on Medium. TK is cloud-hosted and has no native desktop app.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Calmly is like a markdown editor (sort of?) for writers. I still don't get what all the hype is about with markdown. I get that pure text files will still be readable post-apocalypse as long as one computer exists (or whatever that crowd goes on and on about) but beyond that? It's quick and "easy" to format if you learn a lot of new shortcuts/syntax, taking of valuable brain space better spent on things related to actually writing. Back to Calmly: It's pretty! Well, mine is. You can set yours however you want, but mine is a deep navy background with an orchid purple font. Don't ask me how this isn't distracting, it just isn't. Granted, this is the paid-for (very cheap!) desktop version, not the free web version, so it has more customization options. It is somehow actually soothing. I'm a stress-writer. And eater. And, well, I'm sure you get the point. I write when I'm stressed and writing ([well] or trying to, anyway) stresses me out. But I don't see or feel any of the noise when I'm using Calmly. There's no risk to using the free web version, forever or just to try, unless that is, you don't want to replace your current writer/editor. In which case, what are you doing here?!

Cons

  • The person who reviewed before me didn't know what they were talking about, so I guess that's a con that's not at all the fault of Calmly. I bought this software in November 2022 and did not get charged at all beyond the first time. Make sure you're signing up for the right stuff, read the fine print, don't go to crappy websites, use an adblocker and don't click shady links, and run MalwareBytes, because you (dear other reviewer) clearly have something else going on.
  • All one can find is information about a one time fee. Thereafter they draw $30 from your account monthly.
