kempt for writers
Your research is thorough. Your publish queue is empty.
Kempt turns stalled drafts into dated tasks, with the research linked beside them. Plain Markdown on your disk, free, no account.
Free forever. No account needed. Your files stay on your disk.
Today every area, one list
Each row is its own .md file. Check one here and status: done is written into that file, so Board, Calendar, and Timeline show it too.
one tuesday
The stalled draft starts moving.
A writer's Tuesday in Kempt, scene by scene. The screens are the app itself, on demo data.
7:20 am
The morning opens at the draft, not the tabs
The global graph clusters months of research by life area, one color each. Open the draft and write, nothing left to hunt.
1:40 pm
The stat lands mid-sentence
Clip the stat into the day's note and wikilink the draft, keep typing. The backlink under the draft quotes the exact sentence, so the source stays attached for good.

Hana Studio
Tuesday
Client day. The Hana Studio invoice is set for the 25th: they pay net-30, so that is the day it goes out.
Still need a booth time for the School festival, and the side-project launch page is close.
Last night's braindump is already real tasks, each its own file in Today. This note just keeps the context.
6:20 pm
Tomorrow's revision, planned in one line
Type 'tomorrow revise the pitch essay p1' and the revision becomes its own Markdown file, dated and prioritized, exactly like the one on screen. No form, no dropdown.

Draw the map in ten minutes.
Areas are the few lives you run. Not one per draft. The book and the newsletter are projects in Writing. So is each commission. New piece, new project.
- Publish every week goal
- The book project
- Newsletter project
- Commission: city profile project
- research/interviews.md note
- Website refresh project
- pitches.md note
- journal/ note
Three areas hold a whole writing life. Filter any view by the book. Only the book.
Your first days
- Point Kempt at your notes folder or Obsidian vault. It indexes files in place, nothing converted.
- Give your three most stalled drafts a date, like 'thursday finish the interview piece p1'.
- For one week, start every session in Today and end it in the journal.
Optional by design
Turn on the AI and it works inside your research, on your own login
Kempt embeds Claude Code, on your own Claude login, with no markup on your AI bill. What it learns is Markdown in your vault: read it, edit it, delete it. Turn it off and Kempt works exactly the same.

An honest fit check
- You write mostly on your phone. Native mobile is landing now: tasks, calendar, and notes on the move. Building
- You need editorial comments, roles, and shared review. Kempt is single-player, deliberately.
- Dispatch is next: your desktop AI, driven from your phone. Planned
Fair questions
Can I keep using Obsidian?
Yes, on the same folder at the same time. A Kempt vault is plain Markdown, fully Obsidian-compatible. Kempt adds the execution layer: dated tasks, Today, boards, and goals beside your notes.
What happens to my writing if Kempt disappears?
Nothing. Your notes and tasks are Markdown files on your own disk, readable by any text editor. No proprietary database, no account required.
Is it actually free?
Everything local is free, permanently, no account. The one paid piece is Sync (beta): encrypted on your device before upload, from $5 a month with 1 GB and three months of cloud version history.
I do not want AI near my drafts. Is that a problem?
No. It is off until you turn it on, and every feature works the same without it. On, it runs on your own Claude login, its memory editable Markdown in your vault.
Stop archiving drafts. Start publishing them.
Open beta for Windows and macOS, signed and free on your desktop. Give one stalled draft a date tonight.
