Craft
by Craft Docs Ltd. · Application · also known as Craft Docs
Block-based document and notes app with native Apple, Windows and web clients, structured pages, collections and shareable published documents
Overview
Craft is a document and note-taking application from Craft Docs Ltd. that combines a block editor with nested pages, cards and collections (table-like groups of documents) in native apps for macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Windows plus a web client. Documents can be styled with templates and layouts, linked to each other, exported to Markdown, PDF or Word, and published as shareable web pages; shared spaces support team collaboration and comments. Documents sync through Craft's cloud with the option of local-only spaces, and extensions connect to Things, Todoist and other tools. It targets individuals and small teams who want polished documents without Notion's database complexity. Pricing is freemium with Plus, Family, Team and Business plans; databases and automation are lighter than in Notion, and the format is proprietary with export as the path out.
