lwriter 0.1.0 (Windows) / 0.2.1 (macOS)

a calm, distraction-free markdown writing app. native builds for Windows
and macOS, no Electron, no telemetry.

highlights

• markdown styled live as you type, iA Writer-style
• typewriter & focus modes, auto-hiding chrome
• notes sidebar with Obsidian vault support — real folder tree, edited in place
• paste/drop images, stored beside the note, ![[embedded]] like Obsidian
• find & replace, serif preview, standalone HTML export
• light/dark follows the system theme live · bundled + installed + custom fonts
• native Rust (Tauri 2) — small binaries, no Electron, no telemetry

install

Windows (v0.1.0)

• installer (recommended): per-user, no admin needed — Windows 10/11, 64-bit
• portable: single exe, run from anywhere
• unsigned for now, so SmartScreen may warn — "More info → Run anyway"

macOS (v0.2.1, Apple Silicon)

• open the .dmg and drag lwriter to Applications
• ad-hoc signed but not notarized (no Apple Developer account yet), so
  first launch needs right-click → Open to get past the "unidentified
  developer" prompt

every byte is reproducible from this repo (see BUILD.md).
