Syntax when it matters
Formatting marks reveal themselves at the place you are editing. Move away and the page becomes easy to read again.
A native Markdown editor for Linux
Make room
for the words.
Write in a clear, readable page. Move into a heading, link, or list and its Markdown marks appear right where you need them. The file beneath it stays ordinary Markdown.
Watch the editor in motionA short look inside
The page stays yours.
Four states of one synthetic document, captured from the running Plainwright editor.
Actual editor capture
01 / 04
01 — Write on the page
A calm, centered page shows the formatted text without hiding the file behind it.
The images come from the same document. Switching presentation does not rewrite its Markdown or Undo history.
The Plainwright approach
A writing surface.
Not another format.
Plainwright is being built for people who want a comfortable page and a real text file, without keeping two views in sync.
One file, two layouts
Choose a centered page or use the full window. Switch to Markdown source whenever you want to see the exact text.
At home on Linux
KDE is the first-class desktop. The editor uses ordinary local Markdown files and needs no account or background service.
In active development
Coming when it’s ready.
Plainwright is in testing. Native Fedora RPM and Flatpak packages are planned for the first public release. Downloads and installation guidance will appear here after the release checks are complete.
