Writality is everything I've ever wanted in a writing software and more 🐰💕 Thank you so, so much to Venus for creating Writality—and for being so receptive to user feedback. It combines most every feature I've ever longed for into a single pleasant writing software, seamlessly integrating them in such a way that no one feature feels intrusive. It somehow manages to remain feature-rich yet minimalist in design, with a modern UI that tickles the creative in me. Unsurprisingly, the new Zen Mode and Focus tools are my most anticipated and favorite features right now, but I am in love with the binder structure and Concepts and the Dashboard and tags and . . . I suppose just everything, haha! The UI and themes are spot-on and wonderful. Writality truly does have that splendid feel of a writing software created for writers first and I cannot express how much I appreciate that. Oh, and it's free, which still boggles me! So, thanks again for Writality, Venus! Thank you so, so much. I look forward to seeing how Writality evolves over time and hope to be around the entire way 🐧💗

I don't know exactly where to say this, so I will do it here. I have found Writality by happenstance. It was a great find. I'm a first time writer, have never written anything before (although I read a lot). One day I woke up with this story in mind. Tried to find tools to help me write. Scrivener... and also many other indie apps... but none of them clicked exactly with me. Some of them almost hit the spot, but in the end they were strict in a point or another. I have this kind of monkey brain. I change my mind all the time. I want to have free form characters, curses, places... relationship. And then I found Writality and... I'm so grateful because it feels that someone finally understood the way my mind works!! I don't know who the devs are (now I know, Venus—you're the one!), but I'm sure they're here so, hear me please: thank you a million times, and thank you for making all of this available for free. That really means a lot, God bless you. I hope you keep developing this amazing tool for many years to come 🤗🙏
I tried almost every software/app with the exception of services with monthly fees because I don't like that monetization model at all. When I tried other worldbuilding/writing apps I suffered old/ugly UIs, too rigid structures, too simplistic tools, convoluted menus and systems, bugs, crashes, data loss, etc, etc. Then I tried Notion and many clones. At first I was happy because I had the power to make my own systems and structures, but after many hours I realised I was just wasting time refining the system instead of actually writing or worldbuilding. Writality is the closest to what I need: it has a robust yet simple set of features, easy to learn but powerful enough. The UI is clean and nice, it has night mode/dark themes (a must for me) and it's FREE! On top of that, the dev is friendly, patient, replies to bug reports and listens to the community. This is a dream come true.
Just wanted to say that I've been writing in Writality for a month (and love it) but today is the first day I've clicked on 'Text Insights' on a chapter I was editing, and I was kind of blown away. So, 1. Awesome Job Again and 2. THANK YOU! (again!)
I have just started using Writality. I have been using it for half a month. BUT, I am obsessed with it. First of all, the Text Insights 👨🍳💋 chef's kiss. I love how I can edit the chapters. It shows the sentence lengths, paragraph density and so on. I was flabbergasted when I first opened it. It is sooo awesome. Secondly, I am obsessed with the themes. All the customized themes that I can create or import from the lovely community. Thirdly, the fact that I can create maps inside it. And and and, Kanban board!!! AAAAAAA!!!! So many things in one place, how can I not love this? Also love how the dev actively listens to the community feedback and works on it. I recommend this. Most importantly, thank you for making this awesome software and much love!

Not only did Venus create a fantastic piece of software, they are also the kindest, most patient soul on the planet and helped me find, figure out and get my data restored when I thought that I'd lost most of it. So thank you for being super patient and thank you for an amazing software. You are the best.
Worldbuilding was already a fun thing for me, but having the system in Writality has completely taken the experience to the next level. The intuitive connections between the writing and the worldbuilding is excellent, and through the process of creating concepts, I am inspired right in the moment to expand my world in ways that wouldn't happen if I was just writing the information in the manuscript. The relationships especially make a huge difference because I'm not satisfied to have a country or a mountain range ... I need animals and peoples to live in them to build an interconnected web of relationships. This app is taking my fantasy worlds to the next level almost effortlessly. The actual writing process is just as helpful. No other app that I tried was able to keep me coming back to use it because I actually wanted to (one did for a few days, but it, too, ultimately failed). With Writality, I'm pulled to either write or worldbuild everyday, and it doesn't feel like work to do it. ✨🐱 I've never been so happy to have a part in a development project (albeit it simply as a beta-tester). Thank you, Venus! 💕
I was trying out Writality, and I must say, it is wonderful. The features, possibilities, thought and care put into it make it a wonderful software for messy or structured planning. For being a beta app this is excellent. I've recommended it to some writer friends who aren't chronically online, and they are loving it!
As someone who's super interested in local-first software in the era of constant slop SaaS, this is an amazing project and surely one of the biggest inspirations for my own side-projects! The aesthetics are a bliss, with a great level of simplicity and usability still. Writing and worldbuilding is a hobby for me, and it feels really good to use Writality in small windows of time during my day.
Writality is really looking like the tool I've been needing for a while now. Notion and Obsidian can be overwhelming. Google Docs or Word aren't enough. Scrivener is powerful, but the UI feels dated. It isn't feature bloated, and it doesn't have an overwhelming amount of plugins. There's none of the same fatigue I feel with other systems, where I worry about optimizing instead of writing. It's very intuitive and approachable.
