A fast, open-source word processor with a familiar Microsoft Word-style workflow, including ribbon controls, styles, tables, track changes, references, and mail merge. WordCraft supports DOCX files and runs natively on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD, or directly in your browser via WebAssembly.

Features

Familiar Microsoft Word-style interface

Ribbon tabs, formatting tools, keyboard shortcuts, a live Styles gallery, and familiar document editing behavior.

Broad document compatibility

Open and save DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, and TXT files, with support for LaTeX and legacy Word DOC documents. Export PDFs with selectable text, links, and bookmarks.

Fast document rendering

Cached paragraph layouts and on-demand page rendering keep editing responsive, even in lengthy documents.

Track changes and review tools

Add comments, accept or reject revisions, compare documents, and check spelling and grammar offline.

Academic and business references

Create tables of contents, footnotes, citations, bibliographies (APA, MLA, Chicago, and IEEE), indexes, and captions.

AI agent integration

A unified command system supports automation through a command-line interface, JSON control channel, and MCP server.

Cross-platform support

Built in Rust for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and the web, using native GPU-accelerated egui rather than Electron or Tauri.

Privacy-focused

Core editing, spelling, and grammar checking work offline without requiring cloud services.

Free and open source

Available under MIT or Apache-2.0 licenses, with original or openly licensed assets.
