Modular Text Editing
Build documents out of MODs, reusable blocks you can collapse, lock, move, or sync across documents. Stash any MOD in the Mod Drawer, then insert or sync it into another document whenever you need it.

Sable is commissioning her novel's lead for the second time; the bust from last winter is the avatar on her writing account. This one is the treeline scene from chapter nine, and she requested specific expressions.
Per Sable during correspondence:
The thing I care about most is the pause. She's just heard the bell from the valley, and she hasn't decided to run yet. If she looks heroic, it's wrong; if she looks scared, it's also wrong.
Also: no background detail past the treeline. The valley remains a silhouette, so I want the reader's imagination to compose it.

Additional Notes
Palette is holding moss, iron, and one ember accent on the cloak clasp; everything warm stays below her chin so the face reads cool and undecided.
A lightweight recreation of the Modexe interface, built to show how the Companion Record works. The app itself uses native controls.
Not two separate tools, just two ways of looking at the same content.
Build documents out of MODs, reusable blocks you can collapse, lock, move, or sync across documents. Stash any MOD in the Mod Drawer, then insert or sync it into another document whenever you need it.
Write by hand with full Apple Pencil support on iPhone and iPad. A handwritten page is a real document, so it links to your records and lives alongside your typed notes.
Tap a navigation chip and the document it points to opens beside your current one in the adaptive Sidebar Companion. Read, reference, or edit both without leaving either.
Drop a record into a sentence as a relational chip that stays in sync with it. Navigation chips open another document alongside, and attachment chips hold your files.
Start in the Table Admin UI, call a table from the slash menu, convert a table you already jotted in a document, or import a CSV.
Say what the column stores in plain words and Modexe suggests the right type, with the reason why. Converting a table or importing a CSV, it reads your values instead.
Link tables one-to-many or many-to-many, then roll values up across two hops, look them up, or calculate new ones.
Filter, group, and save any view you build. Flip the same rows to a board to move work through stages, or export them as a CSV.
How they connect
One command menu spins up MODs, tables, and views without ever leaving the keyboard.
The relational layer
A client, a book, a project. Write about it in a document and list it in a table, and it is the same record underneath. Change it once and every mention stays in step.
A document
Prose that mentions the record with an inline chip.
A table row
Typed columns and status, the same underlying record.
Free to start. No account, no card.
Local-first and fully offline. Your notes and tables are files on your own hardware.
Changes ride your own private iCloud. There is no Modexe server in the middle.
No sign-up, no profile, no tracking. There is nothing for us to hold.
Export any document to plain Markdown and every table to CSV, whenever you want.
Modexe is free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no account and no cap on projects, tables, or documents. Writing, tables, chips, views, handwriting, and iCloud sync are all in the free app.
iPhone and iPad coming soon.
