It's designed for novelists and storytellers who want an offline-first writing experience with optional self-hosted synchronization. ---- **Writing Features** **Write in Scenes** Break your story down into smaller scenes. Take notes alongside, write a short summary to help view your story in outline mode. **Organize your scenes** Need two characters to meet earlier? Simply drag and drop your scenes to change their order. **Use Drafts of your scenes** Save a Draft before a major rewrite of your scene. This makes major changes to your story less scary, because you can always go back. **Write out your timeline** Use the timeline feature to visualize the timeline of your plot or even your world. **Write your Encyclopedia** Make entries for your characters, places, events, anything you can think of. Add pictures to capture a thousand words. **Notes** Need to capture a quick thought about your story or world? Throw it into the notes section. ---- **Technical Features** **Multi-platform** Bring this app anywhere — on your phone, tablet, desktop, or laptop. It is not simply a website-in-a-box. It uses native client side technologies to provide the best experience possible. **Multi-Screen** Whether you are on a phone, tablet, or desktop, Hammer will make the best use of your screen space, expanding to give you space to work. Also supporting both light and dark modes. **Offline First** Hammer is designed from the ground up to be entirely local, no internet connection required, ever. You can sync to a server, either self-hosted or one hosted by a third party such as hammer.ink. But it's entirely optional. **Transparent Data** Your data is yours. It's not stored in the cloud or some opaque database. It is stored in simple, human-readable files, just using files and folders to define the project structure. You can open your system's file browser and take a look for your self. If this program went away today, you would be able to easily interact with your data. ### Package name * hammer-editor --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 22 August 2026 - latest/stable * 10 January 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [hammer.ink](https://hammer.ink "https://hammer.ink") --- ### Donations * [www.patreon.com](https://www.patreon.com/c/DarkRockStudios "https://www.patreon.com/c/DarkRockStudios") --- ### Source code * [github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor](https://github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor "https://github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor/issues](https://github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor/issues "https://github.com/Wavesonics/hammer-editor/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/hammer-editor/pop#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Pop!\_OS and install Hammer Editor Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
