feature showcase

every tool has a job, then gets out of the way.

Free Association is a browser writing studio built around momentum: ambient rooms, focused drafting modes, structured starts, notes, proofread support, version history, exports, and session controls.

attention modes

Focus mode darkens the room. Typewriter mode pins the active line to a steady rail.

capture modes

Notes, journals, outlines, and blank drafts begin with the shape the thought needs.

revision tools

Proofread, snapshots, exports, timer, zoom, borders, and cloud save stay close but quiet.

The landing page now carries quick previews. This page expands them into a guided feature tour with links into the focused product pages.

These product vignettes show the main behavior groups: standard drafting with tools visible, focus writing, note capture, and typewriter motion.

built for flow

small controls, kept close to the page.

The support tools stay compact so they can help when needed without turning writing into software management.

Mono and Duo Type

Switch between monospace faces and literary serif/mono pairings for drafting, journaling, and revision.

Export Anywhere

Send work out as plain text, markdown, HTML, print-ready PDF, or a Word document.

Revision Support

Proofread for spelling and grammar, keep daily version snapshots, and restore earlier drafts.

Session Controls

Use the timer, document zoom, page borders, spellcheck, alignment, and spacing to tune each session.

Cloud Save

Documents save as you write, so notes, journals, outlines, and drafts are waiting in any browser.

Find and Replace

Search the current text quickly and replace repeated words or fragments without leaving the editor.

Word Count

Word and character counts stay visible for sessions that need a target or boundary.

No Install

The whole studio runs in the browser, keeping the writing surface available without setup.
