Authorcise

Authorcise is an intentionally simple macOS writing app designed and built by one person (a full-time author) to help you start and maintain a daily writing ritual. It was built to remove friction so you can sit down and write without overthinking it. Select a time limit, get your prompt, and start writing. No bloated settings, totally private, and absolutely free. Save your writing in a plain, universal text file directly on your device. Features: • Distraction-Free Focus: Open to a warm, paper-like canvas that simply asks, "Ready to write?" • Four Writing Modes: Choose your flow. Use Freewriting, spark ideas with Prompts, lock in with Typewriter, or practice letting go with Mandala (a temporary mode where saving is not allowed). • Strictly Local Storage: Save your work as plain, universal text (.txt) files directly to your device. No cloud syncs, no tracking, and no accounts required. • Fully Accessible: Built to strict macOS accessibility standards. Includes complete VoiceOver support, accessible touch targets, and visual indicators so everyone can write without friction.
