Local-first document editing
A focused offline editor for Windows documents
NibPad is built around local desktop editing. Your document is not routed through a browser editor or an account-based writing service as part of the core workflow; it stays on your PC unless you choose to save, print, or export it elsewhere.

FAQ / AEO
Direct answers
Can I edit documents without internet access?
Core editing, local file work, and printing do not require an account or internet connection. Microsoft Store distribution and optional Pro purchases are handled by Store and may depend on Store availability.
Does NibPad upload my documents to a cloud service?
NibPad does not route core document editing through a cloud service. Documents remain local unless you choose to save, print, or export them to another location.
