Prose is a minimal text editor designed for writers, developers, and anyone who loves clean, focused writing.

• Fast & Responsive — Built natively with SwiftUI for macOS, Prose stays responsive even with lengthy documents
WHAT MAKES PROSE DIFFERENT
While modern text editors often introduce unnecessary complexity, Prose takes a different path. We believe great writing tools should be simple, beautiful, and respectful of your focus. Every feature serves writing — nothing more. Powerful tools like macros, developer utilities, and advanced text operations stay tucked away until you need them, so the interface never gets in your way. Whether you're styling a rich document, highlighting code, or keeping it plain, Prose adapts to your workflow.
Perfect for:
- Novelists and authors working on manuscripts
- Programmers writing code or documentation
- Students organizing notes and essays
- Journalists managing stories and research
- Anyone who values simplicity, elegance, and control over their writing
All your documents are securely stored on your Mac with full local storage — no cloud syncing, no subscriptions, no accounts, no tracking.
Start writing today. Pure focus. Just words.
