WritingBricks

Write a page. Build a book.

WritingBricks is a Markdown editor for a single document and a writing studio for a whole project. Organise scenes, paragraphs and notes as bricks you can move.

Get the Mac app Write in your browser

WritingBricks: a project binder and editable writing bricks on a Mac.

Version 0.1.27 for Mac.

Dropbox sync is a feature of the web app at writingbricks.com for licensed users. The Mac app is local-first and has no built-in Dropbox connection. Files in a local Dropbox folder are synced by the separately installed Dropbox desktop app.

Built for long projects

Your writing stays yours

A local project is an ordinary folder with Markdown files. Open it in another editor or work on it with an AI tool. WritingBricks does not send your writing to an AI service. On Mac you can open folders managed by Dropbox or iCloud Drive; their own apps handle that folder’s sync.

Write for free. Sync when you need it.

Free, local, no account

Use the Mac app or browser editor without signing up. Free local writing is not uploaded or stored on WritingBricks servers. Browser drafts stay in that browser: export copies before clearing browser data.

Open the local editor

Dropbox sync: US$19/year

Start with a 90-day free trial, then US$19 per year plus applicable taxes shown at checkout. The subscription renews automatically each year until you cancel in Whop.

Whop provides your licence key when the trial starts. Verify it to connect your own Dropbox. Licence revocation takes effect within about one minute. Documents are stored in your Dropbox; sync requests transit the WritingBricks server without a stored document copy.

Questions

What happens when I cancel?

A scheduled cancellation keeps sync available until the valid trial or paid period ends. A canceled, expired or otherwise invalid membership cannot sync. Local writing and your files remain available.

Already have a WritingBricks account?

New cloud accounts are closed. Existing accounts can still sign in, open and edit their online projects, export copies, recover access with their recovery key and delete the account. These legacy projects remain on WritingBricks servers. Dropbox sync now requires a valid Whop licence.
