# the quiet engine

in a world of constant noise, silence is a luxury.

most software fights for your attention. it pings, it slides, it demands to be seen.

fue.li is different. it is a void. a blank slate.

on the metal. in the quiet.

built for momentum.

modern writing tools are bloated with social features and ai trackers. fue.li strips it all away to give you raw performance.

true local-first

your words never leave your machine. no background sync, no telemetry, no silent uploads. complete data sovereignty.

zero latency

built for millisecond response times. optimized regex parsers handle documents of 100k+ words without stuttering.

ambient audio

built-in pink noise generator to mask external distractions and trigger deep focus immediately.

pure markdown

your data is yours. save files as standard .md. no proprietary formats, no lock-in, no pdf bloat.

zen mode

one keystroke (ctrl+b) removes the ui entirely. always-on dark mode reduces eye strain during long sessions.

auto-versioning

the engine silently snapshots your work every 5 minutes to local browser storage. never lose a thought.

background processes

smart citations

links are detected, superscripted in the text, and automatically compiled into a formatted sources list at the document footer.

strict counts

headers, dividers, and formatting characters are excluded from word counts. only your actual content is measured.

panic protocol

pressing esc closes any active menu. pressing esc again triggers the memory wipe confirmation.

the manifesto

"the cloud is just someone else's computer."

we believe that creative work is intimate and private. in an age of surveillance capitalism, the most revolutionary act is to own your own thoughts.

fue.li is an instrument for the independent thinker. it is an engine for those who refuse to be harvested.

fue.li is a progressive web app. install it once — it lives on your device, runs offline, and never phones home again.
