Multi-Platform Accessibility

Hammer is built for versatility, ensuring your workspace is available wherever you work.

• Native applications for desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices.

• Utilizes native client-side technology rather than simple web wrappers to provide high-performance, responsive interactions.

Offline-First Reliability

We developed Hammer to eliminate the frustration of connection-dependent software.

• Built from the ground up for entirely local operation.

• No internet connection is required to access your work, ensuring consistent performance during long writing sessions.

Data Sovereignty and Transparency

Your stories belong to you alone, not a cloud provider.

• Data is stored in human-readable files within a folder structure you define.

• Browse your project files directly through your operating system’s file manager.

• Future-proof design ensures your work remains accessible and editable even if the software is no longer available.

Advanced Synchronization

Hammer offers flexible, secure ways to maintain your progress across your entire hardware ecosystem.

• Intelligent syncing protocols prevent data loss and resolve conflicts between devices.

• Synchronization is strictly optional; you retain total control over your setup.

• Users can choose to self-host the sync server, ensuring your data never leaves your private infrastructure.

Enhance Your Writing Process

• Whether you are working from a desktop workstation or a mobile device on the go, Hammer provides a professional environment that respects your autonomy and protects your creative process.

FAQ

Q: Does Hammer require an internet connection to work?

A: Not at all. We built Hammer with an offline-first philosophy, meaning it operates entirely locally. You can write anytime and anywhere without ever needing to worry about an internet connection or cloud downtime.

Q: Is Hammer just a web wrapper app?

A: No, Hammer is built using native client-side technology rather than simple web wrappers. This ensures that you experience high-performance, responsive interactions that feel snappy and professional regardless of the device you are using.

Q: Where is my writing actually stored?

A: Your data is stored in human-readable files located in a folder structure that you define yourself. This means your work is not locked away in a hidden cloud database, and you can browse your project files directly through your operating system’s file manager at any time.
