- Fixed: copying and cutting text with a long press. Selecting a word with a touchscreen now enables Cut and Copy, which were greyed out. - Smaller download and a faster start.

Calmly Writer is a writing app designed to help you focus. The moment you start typing, the interface gets out of your way — no clutter, no noise, just you and your words. But calm doesn't mean basic. Under that quiet surface is a genuinely capable editor: rich formatting, tables, checklists, version history, writing goals and export to Word and PDF. Everything a writer needs, and nothing that gets in the way. — WRITE WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS — • Distraction-free mode hides every control while you type, and brings it back the moment you stop. • Focus Mode highlights only the line or paragraph you're working on and dims the rest. • Pick a typing sound — classic typewriter, keyboard or soft taps — or pure silence. • Optionally hide the caret and tabs while writing for a completely clean page. — A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WORK — • Six handcrafted themes, including Light, Dark, Black, Sea and Dune. • Serif, sans-serif and monospaced fonts, with adjustable size, text width, line spacing and colors. • OpenDyslexic mode for easier, more comfortable reading. — REAL WRITING TOOLS — • Format as you type with Markdown-style shortcuts: headings, bold, italic, lists and more. • Tables, checklists, code blocks, blockquotes, links and images. • Comments and an automatic table of contents for longer documents. • Smart punctuation: curly quotes, em dashes, ellipses and arrows. • Find and replace, live word and character count, and reading time. • Right-to-left writing support. — STAY ON TRACK — • Set a word or character goal for any document and watch your progress toward it. • Automatic saving, so you never lose a word. • Version history to restore any earlier version of a document. • Recover documents you closed — even ones you never saved. — YOUR FILES, YOUR DEVICE — • Open and save real files on your device. No account, no sign-in, no lock-in. • Work in plain text, Markdown, HTML or the Calmly format. • Export to Word (.docx) and PDF to share anywhere. • Keep several documents open at once with tabs. Whether you're writing a novel, an article, an essay or just your thoughts, Calmly Writer gives you a quiet, beautiful space to do your best work — and then gets out of your way.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fdfdfd;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #151515;
  --muted-foreground: #666666;
  --accent: #2995ee;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FDFDFD (~93%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~1%) · Text #151515 (~3%) · Muted Text #666666 (~2%) · Accent #2995EE (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
