What it does

Prosaic is a minimalist writing environment for writers who want to focus on their craft, not their tools. Built for the terminal, Prosaic gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. Features: Markdown editor with live outline and word count. Focus mode strips away everything but your words. Daily writing metrics to track progress. Git-ready. Your files are plain markdown. No accounts, no costs, no cloud lock-in, no telemetry. Just you and your words. For macOS, Linux, and Windows.
