★ How does Difree help, exactly? ★
★ With Difree, you get focused
⭢ Our goal is to create a calm and distraction-free writing space.
⭢ Whether you want to write a longer e-mail in GMail, start a thread on Reddit, post something meaningful on Facebook, or reply on Twitter - Difree is there for you.
⭢ No more distractions - just a blank page, simple and elegant text editor and you with your thoughts.
⭢ Difree works offline, too. So disconnect from Internet, if you need more focus.
★ With Difree, you get comfy
⭢ Our goal is to create a simple and elegant writing space.
⭢ Anytime you want to write something, your comfy and beautiful text editor is ready to be used among millions of websites, text areas and forms.
⭢ No more fuzzy text editor or pages that force you to write in a single line (thank you, Facebook Messenger!). You have got all the space you require.
★ With Difree, you can copy text in Markdown or as an image
⭢ Our goal is to create mechanisms to export what you are writing in easily way.
⭢ Your writing can be copied to Clipboard in rich text, simplified text, Markdown, or as an image.
⭢ Write in Difree, and copy-paste where you want: GMail, Reddit, Whatsapp, or Twitter.
★ With Difree, you write privately
⭢ Our goal is to create a private and safe writing space.
⭢ What you are writing is none of our business. We don't know what you are writing and what you are doing with your browser. We want to know as little as possible about you.
⭢ No more dirty privacy compromises. We know, there are analytical scripts inside the website or extensions that, under the guise of being helpful, collect and analyze what's written in text fields. We don't do that, and we help to prevent from doing that.

Check our privacy policy and see what we know about you. If you have any questions, considering privacy, drop us a line: [email protected].

We added a way to easily feedback us or ask question. In the bottom-right corner, there's a question mark button. When clicked, it opens a popup where you can send feedback.

3. Add Introduction to Difree
- When you install Difree, it opens with short introduction of the features.

- We implement tracking statistics. We have done it because we would like to know what's working and what's not in Difree, to improve Difree.

- We use Matomo to gather the data, and we have full control of the data.
- We still DON'T know what you write, and we DON'T want to. We prefer the approach 'your data is none of our business'. Our privacy policy is pretty strict about it, the privacy of your data — and it is your data, not ours! — is a big deal to us.
