Multi‑Platform Compatibility
• Hammer runs on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and any other computer that can install native software.
• It is not a “website‑in‑a‑box”; instead it uses platform‑specific client‑side technologies to deliver a smooth, responsive experience on every device.
Offline‑First Design
• The application was built from the ground up to work completely offline.
• No internet connection is required to create, edit, or view your stories, eliminating the instability that plagues many web‑based writing tools.
Transparent Data Storage
• All project data is saved in plain, human‑readable files organized in ordinary folders.
• You can open your operating system’s file explorer at any time to inspect or back up your work.
• If Hammer were ever discontinued, your files would remain accessible and editable with any text editor.
Intelligent Synchronization
• When you choose to sync, Hammer automatically detects changes made on different devices and merges them without overwriting newer edits.
• Conflict resolution is handled locally, so you retain full control over the final version of your story.
Optional, Self‑Hosted Sync Service
• Syncing is entirely optional; you may use Hammer on a single device with no server at all.
• If you need cross‑device access, you can install the lightweight sync server on a machine you control and configure the client to connect to it.
• Because the server is self‑hosted, you keep complete ownership of your data and avoid reliance on third‑party cloud services.
• These features combine to make Hammer a reliable, secure, and flexible tool for writers who value both freedom and functionality.
FAQ
