A writing app for Windows

1. Download quorly.exe from the download page.
2. Run it. The installer is per user, so it does not need an administrator prompt on a standard account.
3. Launch Quorly from the Start menu. There is nothing to sign into.

The build is unsigned, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” the first time. Choose More info → Run anyway. That warning is about the missing code-signing certificate, not about the file having been altered — but it is a reasonable thing to be cautious about, and the browser version needs no install at all if you would rather skip it.

It is a native window around the web app, built with Pake. The editor itself loads from quorly.dev, so it stays current with the site, while the shell — window size, icon, name — only changes when you download a new installer. There is no auto-updater yet.

It is not a sync client. The app keeps its own local storage, separate from your browser's, so a draft written here does not appear in the browser copy. Export a .quorly package to move one across.

Once the window has loaded, writing, formatting and exporting work without a connection. Drafts live in the app's own store on that machine; uninstalling without exporting loses them. Keep a copy with an export, with Local Sync to a folder, or with Pro Cloud Sync to your own Google Drive.

The build is x64. On an ARM device it runs under emulation, which works but is slower; the web app is the cleaner option there. On a machine where installers are blocked by policy — a work laptop, a school device — the browser version uses the same editor and the same local storage model, and Chrome or Edge can install it as a web app from the address bar.
