Medium's editor is famous for its clean design. It set the standard for "WYSIWYG" writing on the web. But for many writers, drafting directly in the browser is a trap.
Toolis offers a better way: The Offline Draft.
The Browser Paradox
The browser is a portal to everything: research, social media, email, and endless notifications. Writing inside the same window where you consume the internet is like trying to sleep in the middle of a carnival.
Write First, Format Later
Toolis allows you to draft locally, in pure Markdown. Focus on the words, not the platform.
- Offline First: No internet needed. No "saving..." spinner.
- Markdown Speed: Use
#for headers and*for italics without lifting your hands from the keys. - Zero Noise: Full-screen Focus Mode keeps you locked in.
The Perfect Export
Once your draft is ready, Toolis bridges the gap.
Our Share feature now generates a perfectly formatted HTML preview. You can verify exactly how your headers, quotes, and images will look before you ever log in to Medium.
When you're ready, simply copy the preview URL and use Medium's Import story feature. It just works.
Workflow
- Draft in Toolis with Focus Mode (
CMD+D). - Share to generate a link.
- Import the link into Medium to publish.
Write where it's quiet. Publish where the audience is.
