- Cheese Paper is a text editor designed for writing fiction, storing notes with scenes in a minimal file format that uses Markdown and TOML headers.
- It supports syncing across devices, works offline, and allows manual editing without breaking functionality, while keeping notes visible during writing.
- The tool organizes projects into multiple files, enables exporting to a single file for sharing, and integrates with syncing services like Syncthing, Nextcloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
- Features include dark/light themes, a random theme generator, multilingual support, and no telemetry, with updates fetched from Codeberg only if enabled.
- It's open-source (GPLv3), developed without AI assistance, and prioritizes user privacy and data ownership, distinguishing it from alternatives like Manuskript, Scrivener, or Obsidian.
