What is Thymer
Thymer is a new take on notes, tasks, planning, and organizing information. For work or personal projects. This page shows what’s different.
A new kind of editor
Built from the ground up, the editor combines the power of outliners with WYSIWYG flexibility and the speed of plain text.
- Designed for long-form documents, structured thinking, and task management. Fast whether you’re brainstorming, journaling, building a knowledge base, or planning projects.
- Edit like plain text. Add rich content. Collapse or zoom into sections. Mention dates and people, reference other pages, track tasks and progress.
- IDE-level power, but for writing and planning: split views, command palettes, keyboard shortcuts for everything, queries, and more.
- Serious tools, with a bit of fun.
Writing and formatting shows what the editor can do.
Offline-first speed, encryption, real-time multiplayer, and web access
No trade-off between privacy and convenience. Thymer combines the speed and privacy of offline apps with real-time collaboration and access from anywhere, including the web, using end-to-end encrypted background sync when you’re online.
- Workspace data is downloaded to your device, so interactions are instant.
- Fully functional offline. Feels just like a local editor.
- Seamless background sync when online.
- Work solo or with your team. Control access with admin permissions.
- End-to-end encryption means no one else, not even us, can read your data.
- Your data is yours. Eject at any time: export all of it, or keep a live copy as Markdown files. A self-hosted server is coming soon.

A flexible way to organize any information
Everyone works differently. Thymer is hackable to fit your workflow. Organize anything in work or life into clean, structured databases called collections. Project boards, artwork tables, wiki lists: whether it’s visual or data-heavy, just add properties to shape and structure your notes.
- View your data in multiple ways, like a kanban board, a spreadsheet-style table or a visual gallery.
- Add properties to define, structure and filter your data.
- Power user? Customize and automate with JavaScript plugins.
- Complete out of the box. Simple by default. Extend when you need more.
Try it in your workspace
A new account’s first workspace starts with this page in an Examples collection, together with a Getting Started checklist. Change them, add to them, or delete them when you’re done.
