Features

Everything a writer needs, nothing they don’t

True Live Editing

Format as you type in one clean, distraction-free surface. Headings, bold, links, quotes, checklists, tables, and code all render inline — there’s no split preview and no mode to toggle. What you see is simply your document, taking shape as you write.

Make It Yours

Choose from a gallery of hand-tuned themes that adapt to light and dark, set your font, size, and line spacing. Drypoint stays calm and consistent across every screen — refined down to the last detail.

Private & Secure

Your notes live on your device as plain Markdown — never a proprietary blob. Lock the app with Face ID, encrypt individual notes, and keep everything in sync privately through your own iCloud. Local-first by design, yours alone.

Intelligence

Write with AI, privately

A thoughtful writing assistant lives right inside the editor — rewrite, summarize, fix, or continue a draft in a single tap. It runs on-device by default, so your words never leave your Mac or iPhone unless you decide otherwise.

On-Device by Default

Powered by Apple’s on-device models — private, offline, and free. Nothing is uploaded to a server, ever.

Bring Your Own Key

Prefer a frontier model? Connect your own Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or Grok key. Requests go straight to your provider — Drypoint has no server in between.

Actions & Prompts

Improve, summarize, fix grammar, change tone, continue, and more — each tuned for real writing. Or type any instruction of your own and run it on your text, in your own words.

Folders, tags, and search in Drypoint
Organize

A home for every note

Keep your writing in order with folders, inline #tags, and pinned notes that float to the top. Type a hashtag anywhere and it becomes a filter; instant, full-text search scans titles, bodies, and tags to surface any note the moment you need it. Everything stays tidy without any effort — so you can focus on the words, not the filing.

Export

Take your words anywhere

Because every note is clean Markdown, it travels effortlessly. Export any note to a beautifully typeset document and share it in seconds — no conversion headaches, no lock-in. What you write is always what you keep.

Various Export Formats

PDF, Word, HTML, RTF, ePub, plain text, and more — each cleanly formatted and ready to send.

Open Standards

Your files are portable Markdown you can open in any app — import and export without ever leaving them behind.

Images & Attachments

Drop in photos and files — they’re stored privately alongside your note and travel with your exports.
