Articles
Write it up on pages
Write on pages like a doc: headings, lists and quotes from the keyboard, pictures and charts in the text, comments in the margin, and five looks to match your house style. The writing flows onto a new page as it grows.

Build the deck, then present it
Start a slide from one of 61 ready-made layouts and fill it in, then present the deck full screen on your screen alone, your notes behind a button, with a laser and a spotlight to point the room at what you mean.
- Slide pages, ready-made layouts
- Notes only you open
- Laser pointer for presenting
- Your screen, not everyone else’s
Infographics
Posters, one-pagers and social posts
Lay out a page from a ready-made layout, paint it from your theme, fill it with stats, charts and quotes, then export it print-ready or post it. Every page has its own size, from A4 to a story.

Your data, your call
We don’t make money by being creepy. No third-party trackers, no ads, no resale, no surprise audience. Just an editor that treats your work like your work.
Your data is yours
Every document lives in your own row, scoped to your owner id. Export any page to PNG, SVG or PDF, or any tab as portable JSON, whenever you like, and delete your account from settings to remove it all in one go. We don't make money by holding it hostage.
Never sold, never traded
We don't sell your data. We don't trade it. We don't share it with advertisers or model trainers or anyone else. There is no paid tier and no plan to add one, so we have no commercial pressure to monetise what you make.
Encrypted at rest and in transit
All persistence runs on Cloudflare D1 + R2, which encrypt every row and blob at rest with AES-256. Every request is TLS, end to end. The same protections protect telemetry, share links, and uploaded images.
Private by default
A new document is visible only to you until you generate a share link. Share links are unguessable codes you choose to hand out: protect them with a password, set them to expire automatically after a week, a month, or six months, or revoke them at any time, instantly disconnecting anyone currently using one.
Open source, auditable
The whole stack (editor, API, this site) is on GitHub under the MIT license. Anything we claim here, you can read in the source.
