Powerful word processor — just one URL away.
Free · Open Source · Private by Design
▶ Open EdenText
---
EdenText is a web-based, powerful word processor for everything from quick notes to full-length books. No server, no account — processing runs locally and your documents never leave your computer. Just one URL away, or completely offline as a slim browser app — only ~1 MB[^1].
> [!NOTE]
> EdenText is young, in **beta** and actively developed — more features are on
> the way. It is tested — the full suite plus LibreOffice round-trip checks run
> on every commit — but expect occasional bugs, and keep backups of documents
> you care about. The browser copy also keeps the last three versions of the open
> document, and offers them if it ever fails to load one.
