For the past few years I've been writing my essays in Obsidian, using about a dozen plugins to get all the features I want in a word processor. But even though the core Obsidian app is well built, the plugins I depended on were not well maintained, and things often broke. Once Claude Code made it possible to write my own app with all of these features built-in, I thought I'd give it a try.

Two months later I had a working app! I've made it open source, added documentation, set up a website https://finalfinalapp.cc/ and decided to release it to the world. I even joined the Apple Developer program so that I could properly notarize the app.

It is still in beta and therefore a bit rough around the edges, but it is good enough that I am already using it for my own writing projects.

The website https://finalfinalapp.cc/ has screenshots and lists the key features that make this app unique, such as the ability to zoom in on a section, add inline annotations, version tracking, Zotero support, word count goals, custom themes, Markdown and WYSIWYG editing modes, and spelling and grammar check.

For more detailed instructions, open the app and load the "getting started" docs from the "Help" menu (they should launch automatically the first time you use the app).

If you are interested in the process of how I developed the app, I've kept a development blog https://vibing.kerim.one/ as well.

The app is open source, free, and collects no user data. If you have support questions, spot bugs, or want to contribute, please use the app's GitHub repository (linked from the homepage listed above). You can even fork the code and make your own version of the app if you like!
