quiren.

local-first desktop workspace for literary writers: drafts and versions, open calls and deadlines, send-outs and career stats in one bound studio - so you don't just write, you run a writing life.

Landing concept for Quiren - local-first studio for literary writers (Write · Plan · Send).

the idea

not another notes app

Quiren is a local-first writing-career app for literary writers. Most tools stop at the blank page; Quiren connects the full loop - library and versions, calendar for open calls and goals, submission tracking, and custom reports - on your machine, without a cloud writing desk. I designed the product vision and brand (including a marketing landing), and built the Studio app as a Svelte + Tauri desktop rebuild of an earlier Python prototype.

what i did

  • ✺Product & UX - positioned Quiren as "run a writing life," not another notes app.
  • ✺Design - graph-paper desk aesthetic, Floofy-inspired palette, landing hero + Studio mock.
  • ✺Engineering - desktop app with local SQLite library, Plan calendar, Send-outs ledger, editable Reports dashboards.
  • ✺Stack - Svelte 5, Vite, Tauri 2 (Rust), SQLite.
