STRUCTURE, BUILT DEEP

Pick it up.
Find its place.

Move whole objects. Even into lists and quotes.

Images, tables, code blocks, equations, and diagrams can move to new positions, including inside lists, quotes, and nested combinations. The structure follows the destination. Every move still edits the same Markdown source.

NOTES ON THE ORDINARY

A little room for the ordinary

The best part of an ordinary day is often the part we almost miss.

The light across a familiar street. A page waiting to be written. A quiet moment to call your own.

Leave a little room for it. The words will find their way.

YOU

I want to write about my neighborhood changing, without making it only about nostalgia.

Textend

What if the question is what deserves to stay? Do you miss the buildings, or the encounters they made possible? One small memory might help you find what you really want to say.

Some pieces begin with a thought you haven’t quite found the words for.

A preset illustration. No model calls or document uploads. New discussions need Pro or an active trial and your own AI service.

AND WHEN YOU WANT ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

A second perspective. The final word is yours.

Rewrite, continue, comment, and review. Inspect suggestions in place. Accept and undo on your terms. New tasks require Pro and your own AI service.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A few things
worth knowing.

Can I keep writing for free without AI?+

Yes. Markdown editing, local files, the library, themes, paper colors, focus modes, and basic exports remain free. New AI tasks, professional exports, and decorative images require Pro or an active trial.

How do themes, paper, and decorations differ?+

Themes color the interface. Paper colors the writing surface. Decorations add a little scenery. Themes, paper, and typography are free; bundled and custom decorative images require Pro or an active trial.

Can I use my existing Markdown files?+

Open an existing Markdown file or a local folder directly. Try a copy first to check image paths, extended syntax, and exports. The handbook walks you through it.

Does local-first mean AI is offline too?+

Writing and saving work offline. AI uses a service you configure and may send selected text and relevant context. Offline availability depends on that service. Pro does not include models or usage credits.
