No sign-up. No sign-in. Just the page.

All of it, except one thing:

• Writing. Open the editor and type. There is no trial, no credit card, no activation.
• Saving. The open document and the library are stored in the browser. Nothing is tied to a name.
• Exporting. Markdown, PDF, plain text, a .quorly package, or the clipboard for Substack, Ghost and Medium.
• The desktop app. Windows, macOS and Linux builds install and run without signing in.
• Buying Pro. This is the exception. A subscription needs an account to own it, so checkout uses a Google account and Dodo handles billing. Nothing about your drafts is involved.

The open document is kept in localStorage; the library and its images are kept in IndexedDB, both in this browser profile. That is why there is no login: there is nothing on our side to log in to.

It also means the local copy is the only copy until you make another one. Export a .quorly file for a backup that keeps the images, use Local Sync to write one file per document into a folder you choose, or turn on Pro Cloud Sync to keep a copy in your own Google Drive. The privacy page written for writers goes through the storage model in detail.

Pro is optional and nothing migrates by itself. If you subscribe, your drafts stay exactly where they are — the account is for billing and for the sync token, not for custody of your documents.

Somebody who needs to write a paragraph right now, on a borrowed laptop, without creating a profile that follows them around. Somebody on a locked-down work machine where signing up is blocked. Somebody who already has too many accounts and does not want another one for typing.
