Bird Writer is a writing app built around a single idea: zoom
Bird Writer is a writing app built around a single idea: zoom. Scatter fragments, notes, and scenes across an infinite canvas as text boxes. Zoom out to see the shape of your whole story at a glance; zoom in to lose yourself in a single passage. Your structure and your sentences live in the same space — and you can rearrange either, freely, at any time. WRITTEN FOR FOCUS • Distraction-free focus mode: one box, full screen, nothing but your words in an elegant serif. • Vertical or horizontal writing, per box — with full support for Japanese vertical text (縦書き). • The page is undecorated. The text is the only thing that matters. SEE YOUR STORY'S STRUCTURE • Arrange chapters, plot notes, and character sketches spatially. • Color-label the boxes that matter; from a distance, only the places you've marked stand out. • Connect related boxes, and link between boards to move through an entire manuscript. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS • Everything is saved on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no network — ever. • Nothing is collected or sent anywhere. • Automatic saving and generational backups keep your manuscript safe. • Export to plain text, or save your whole workspace as a single project file. Bird Writer is a quiet, local, native app for people who write.
