IORY: A desktop app that crafts an 'iori' – a zen-inspired minimalist retreat. Distraction-free text editor for pure, focused writing.
No UI. Pure text canvas.
IORY also has a limited GitHub Pages demo for quick trial use in the browser.
- The desktop app is the real version.
- The web demo is intentionally limited and should be treated as a preview only.
- In the web demo, drafts are autosaved to IndexedDB in your browser.
- The web demo does not write back to your local filesystem while you type.
- If you want a file on disk, use the Download button to export a copy manually.
- Browser data can be cleared by the user or the browser, so the web demo is not the recommended place for important writing.
If you want the full IORY experience — direct local-file editing, stronger save semantics, and the intended desktop UX — use the installable app.
-
Focus on one file at a time
Start fromNew File,Open File, orRecent files, then stay with the document you are writing. -
Edit your local files directly
Your document remains a file on disk. You can keep writing without being locked into an app-specific format. -
Autosave by default
You do not need to keep thinking about saving while you write. -
Create explicit checkpoints with Ctrl+S
Manual save can leave a local checkpoint when you want to preserve a specific moment. -
Restore from the checkpoint timeline
You can go back through saved snapshots and restore an earlier state. -
Switch themes
Choose between Night Blue, Snow, Ash, and Warm Paper. -
Adjust the writing environment
Tune font, line height, content width, count mode, background style, and checkpoint interval.
- Writers who want to focus on the text before anything else
- People who prefer writing quietly in one file at a time
- Anyone who wants autosave and history as a safety net
Checkpoints and restore history are stored locally in the app's settings directory, not in the cloud. They exist to protect your writing on your device, not as a sync or sharing feature.
In the web demo, equivalent history is stored only inside your browser for demo purposes.
