100% Free & Open

Find your focus.
Write without limits.

Modern writing apps are bloated with thousands of menus and subscriptions. Meridian strips all of that away to leave you with one thing: the blank page.

Built for Deep Work

Everything you need to hit your word counts, and absolutely nothing else.

Immersive Audio

Block out the world with built-in ambient noise (rain, cafe) and tactile typewriter sound profiles.

Local-First Privacy

No forced accounts or cloud lock-in. Your files are automatically saved securely to your local machine.

Danger Mode

Need an extreme push? Turn on Danger Mode—if you stop typing for more than a few seconds, your text starts fading away!

Writing Analytics

Track your daily streaks, average words-per-minute, and set time or word count goals for specific sessions.

Beautiful Aesthetics

Instantly toggle between a crisp Light Mode and a gorgeous, sophisticated Dark Mode to suit your environment.

One-Click Compile

Export your books and documents instantly to EPUB, PDF, Word (.docx), Markdown, and HTML.

Getting a "Dangerous file" or SmartScreen warning?

Because Meridian is a free open-source app and does not use a paid corporate certificate, Chrome & Windows SmartScreen may flag new .exe / .dmg downloads.

Chrome / Edge: Click ... next to file → Select KeepKeep anyway.
Windows SmartScreen: Click More info → Click Run anyway.
macOS Gatekeeper: Right-click .dmg → Select Open → Click Open.
💡 Tip: Downloading the .zip version bypasses executable warnings!
