A joyful typing experience for the AI era.

A distraction-free writing canvas for focus and creativity. Writing has become rushed, surveilled, and performative. But why? Most of what we write today is read by machines, not people. Sans w/o Clutter Sans w/o Consumption Sans w/o Surveillance

I was finding that, nowadays, I spend so much of my day writing prompts to AI. It was starting to feel weirdly anxious/stressed/frustrated from the cadence of my workflow. Every keystroke felt like it had a cost. My first port of call was to buy a nice mechanical keyboard (the theory being that it would make typing more enjoyable). I then thought, what about the actual interface I type into - could that be more delightful? I'm dyslexic and I've become pretty reliant on all the various writing aids that run in the background, often without us realising. Sans is an attempt to scrap all of that and just focus on a clear stream of thoughts. After all, 99% of what I write nowadays is never going to be read by a human - it's going straight to AI. Sans is an attempt to take all the distractions, consumption, and tech out of the writing process β€” providing a clean slate where I can write better prompts in my own time without feeling like I'm against the clock, being watched, or consuming tokens/energy through every keystroke.

I hope you keep the clear concept of Sans writer.

Notion or obsidian's makers may had the same intention, but now they got too much complicated.

Good luck! :)

@pritraveler great point Yong - it’s a slippery slope with feature creep! My intention is to keep Sans simple and clean at its core!

Interesting ideaβ€”feels like digital minimalism for writers. Curious how it actually feels to use it long-term.
SansWriter has become my go-to for distraction-free writing. The AI-powered suggestions are subtle but brilliantβ€”helping me refine sentences without disrupting my flow. I love how the β€˜Focus Mode’ isolates paragraphs to keep me in the zone, while the auto-formatting handles structure so I can concentrate on ideas. The export options are seamless, and the minimalist interface means zero clutter.
