Craft

About

Craft is the structured document tool that feels genuinely native on the Mac, quick and polished enough to have won Apple's Mac App of the Year in 2021. Documents are built from blocks that nest into subpages, styled with tasteful templates, and shareable as rendered web links that need no account to view. Daily notes, tasks and whiteboards sit alongside, and everything syncs across Mac, iPhone, iPad and the web.

Craft remains the tool to choose when the result has to look as good as it reads: meeting notes, proposals, personal wikis and coursework all come out presentation-ready. The free Starter plan covers 1,500 blocks with 1 GB of storage; Plus removes the limits for $9.99 a month or $95.88 a year.
