The product experience

The page first.
Everything else second.

Pergament is designed around the moment when you stop managing a writing app and start writing. What remains on screen earns its place.

A real Pergament writing session with a centered manuscript, live word count, and a small document minimap
Writing view
Your sentence keeps the room.

A slim status line carries the live counts. The manuscript gets everything else.

Controls on request

Press F1 to reveal settings, help, and export. Press it again to return to the page.

II

Keyboard by instinct

Move between chapters, toggle notes, or change the writing atmosphere without leaving the sentence.

III

Enough structure

Chapters, notes, books, volumes, and snapshots support long work without becoming a dashboard.

A deliberate refusal

Software that knows
when to leave you alone.

Writing software keeps finding new ways to interrupt writing. Pergament takes the opposite approach: give you the page, the tools you actually need, and enough quiet to finish the sentence.

Three reasons to choose Pergament

Focus, ownership,
and writing pleasure.

Restraint is useful only when it makes the work feel clearer, safer, and better to return to.

I

Focus

The interface steps aside when the sentence starts. Full screen is the room; F1 is the door.

One key hides every control
II

Ownership

Choose a folder. Each chapter becomes a Markdown or text file you can move, copy, archive, or open elsewhere.

No proprietary manuscript library
III

Writing pleasure

Choose a quiet screen or add typewriter keys, a margin bell, and a carriage return when rhythm helps.

Silence or sound—the words stay central

Your files, made concrete

Your writing should not need an escape plan.

You choose the book folder on your computer. Pergament saves each chapter as an ordinary Markdown or plain-text file, automatically as you type.

A book is a folder. A chapter is a file.

Questions worth asking

Before you open the quiet room.

Where are my documents stored?

In the book folder you choose on your computer. Pergament writes the chapter files directly into that folder.

What file format does Pergament use?

Each chapter can be stored as Markdown (.md) or plain text (.txt).

Can I open my writing without Pergament?

Yes. The chapter files are ordinary text files, so another text or Markdown editor can open them.

Does Pergament require an account?

No. The application does not require an account, username, or proprietary cloud workspace. Read the privacy policy.

Which systems is Pergament built for?

Pergament is available for Windows from Microsoft Store. Releases for macOS, Linux, and Android are being prepared.

What happens when I finish a draft?

Export the ordered chapters as TXT, Markdown, PDF, DOCX, EPUB, or ODT while keeping the chapter files unchanged.
