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.
Everything you need to hit your word counts, and absolutely nothing else.
Block out the world with built-in ambient noise (rain, cafe) and tactile typewriter sound profiles.
No forced accounts or cloud lock-in. Your files are automatically saved securely to your local machine.
Need an extreme push? Turn on Danger Mode—if you stop typing for more than a few seconds, your text starts fading away!
Track your daily streaks, average words-per-minute, and set time or word count goals for specific sessions.
Instantly toggle between a crisp Light Mode and a gorgeous, sophisticated Dark Mode to suit your environment.
Export your books and documents instantly to EPUB, PDF, Word (.docx), Markdown, and HTML.
Download Meridian for Windows or Apple macOS—100% free & open.
