About this app

Thingway is a complete writing suite that runs on your phone. Plan and write a full thesis, an essay, a report or a formatted publication ready novel, from first outline to industry standard EPUB and DocX exports without an internet connection. Not a notes app, and not a desktop program with a mobile companion. Thingway is a fully-fledged word processor and writing app designed phone-first for focus, mobile interactive writing, academic work and productivity on the go, with autosaving and a markdown text backup openable in any text editor so you're never locked in! Who it's for Students writing a dissertation. Novelists drafting their latest book or series. Researchers who need citations to behave. Screenwriters, journalers, students and anyone who has tried to use a phone word processor for real work and given up. Whether creating essays, stories, screenplays, or notes, Thingway helps anyone stay organized and in your creative flow. Everything works offline Your documents stay prviate and on your device always. The editor, planner, spellchecker, citation manager and translation models all run locally, so the app works on a train, on a plane, or in a library basement with no signal. There is no account to create. Nothing leaves your device unless you save or export it yourself, to your own cloud storage or anywhere else. Built for long documents Thingway uses a custom text renderer and a block-based document architecture, which is why it can handle up to 1 million words and a manuscript of several hundred chapters. Scroll a full-length novel, jump between chapters, and search the whole document as quickly as a short note.
