150-Word Description

Clarus is an AI writing app for writers focused on craft, not output volume. It pairs a distraction-free markdown editor with an AI co-writer that surfaces every suggestion through track changes — showing alterations word by word so the writer stays in control. Clarus includes outline mode for structured composition, a coaching feature that prompts writers with questions to get unstuck rather than generating text for them, and multiple themes including dark mode. Built for fiction authors, bloggers, content marketers, journalists, and anyone who writes seriously. Free tier available. clarus.page

300-Word Description

Clarus is an AI writing application designed to assist, not replace, the writer. Every suggestion the AI makes is surfaced directly in the document through track changes — displayed inline, word by word. Each change can be accepted, rejected, or rewritten. Nothing is altered silently.

The application is built around a distraction-free markdown editor engineered for clarity and focus. Outline mode structures longer projects, letting writers map chapters and sections without leaving the editor. Coaching mode prompts users with clarifying questions — the kind a thoughtful editor might ask — helping writers find their own way forward rather than generating filler.

Clarus supports multiple themes including a refined dark mode. The editor uses Markdown so writing stays portable. The app runs on the web and as a native desktop application built with Tauri.

Built for fiction, journalism, content writing, and serious blogging, Clarus targets writers committed to deliberate prose. It is not a tool for generating copy at scale.

Clarus was founded in 2026 by Jim Jeffers, an indie developer based in Portland, OR. Jim built it because he needed a writing environment where AI worked as a collaborator, not a replacement. Early access is available now at clarus.page with a free tier.
