Aurelius

Aurelius is a local-first, distraction-free writing app for digital writers. I wanted an app that can keep track of my writing habit and offer a simple user experience so I can focus on my writing.

I also wanted to build it with a focus on privacy. Aurelius is designed with a local-first approach, meaning your data primarily resides on your device, not on remote servers. This ensures your writing remains private and under your control.

Here are the key features:

• Local-first, but can sync data between different browsers or devices without signup. Sync is also end-to-end encrypted.

• Progressive web app and offline functionality.

• Rich-text editing with support for Markdown shortcuts.

• Keyboard shortcuts for most actions in the app.

• Writing sessions timer for tracking your daily writing

• Focus-mode which hides almost everything except the editor

• Music player that plays focus music like lofi, chillhop, etc. You can also use a Youtube video or playlist of your choice.

Give it a try and let me know your thoughts. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you!
