Where to write

Solus runs in your browser.

No install, no credit card, no waiting. Open write.soluseditor.com in any modern browser and start writing. Every keystroke is captured live and sealed into your submission — the same way it will be in the desktop app when we ship it.

Open the writer → See how it works

Everything the desktop app will do — today, in your tab.

The browser writer is the recommended way to use Solus right now. It's the same editor, same cryptographic signing, same 29-check verifier. Nothing is missing that would change how your work verifies.

Zero install

Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox. No installer, no admin rights, no security warnings. Works on managed school laptops that block downloads.

Same cryptography

ECDSA-P256 signing, AES-256-GCM encryption, keystroke ledger with Merkle-root commitment — identical to what the desktop build will use. Your submissions verify to the exact same certificate.

Local key storage

Your signing key lives in your browser's local storage. Nothing sent to Solus's servers to make you a writer. Clear browser storage = new key (and you'll re-enroll).

Full verifier compatibility

Every .solus file you export runs through the public verifier at verify.soluseditor.com and produces the same 5-verdict output as any other Solus document.

What about the native desktop app?

It's coming later. The desktop build adds a native keystroke-origin hook that catches synthetic input at the OS level, plus offline writing that syncs when you reconnect. Neither is required for authorship verification — the browser writer covers the same 29 checks — so we're focused on making the online experience great first. If you want to be notified when the desktop app is ready, drop us a line.
