Craft

Documents that feel good enough to keep using.

Visit Craft Freemium Reviewed Oct 23, 2026

Craft is a block-based document editor with genuinely good typography, native apps on Apple platforms, and export quality that puts most web editors to shame. For writing proposals, notes, and internal docs it is more pleasant than Notion and faster than Word.

Who it is for

A consultant writing client proposals who wants documents that look designed without a template.

Key features

  • Block-based editor with strong typography
  • Native apps on Mac, iPad, and iPhone
  • Export to PDF, Word, and Markdown
  • Shared spaces with comments
  • Daily notes and backlinks
  • Windows and web clients lag behind

Where it falls short

It started Apple-first, so the Windows and web versions lag behind, real-time collaboration is weaker than Notion's, and moving a large workspace out later is fiddly.

Pricing

Free tier caps the number of documents and blocks; paid plans are around $8 a month billed annually, and collaboration plus version history are the gates.
