Hi, I'm the independent developer behind Crispdown.
Crispdown started as a favor for a friend. ChatGPT gave her a brilliant .md research report, and she saw a wall of hashtags and asterisks. She asked me, "how do I turn this into something I can actually send to my boss?"
That question is the whole product. AI tools speak Markdown; most of the world speaks Word and PDF. Every deep-research report, every Claude export, every Cursor note lands as a .md file — fine for developers, baffling for everyone else. So I built the tool I wished existed: open the file, see a beautiful document, click once, hand it in.
What I believe
- Your documents are yours. Crispdown renders everything locally and does not upload your files or telemetry. Even license activation happens on your computer. A document's own external images may still load from their original host. I couldn't read your files if I wanted to — and I don't want to.
- Pay once. Use it forever. No subscription, no account, no "seats". You buy v3, you own v3 — including every v3 update and security fix, forever. A future v4 is optional.
- Small software is good software. Crispdown is one focused tool, built and supported by one person. When you email support, I'm the one who answers — within 24 hours.
- No dark patterns. No fake countdowns, no fake stock, no exit popups, no cookies, no tracking. If a discount says the price will go up, it will.
The boring, honest details
Crispdown is developed by an independent developer — that's me. There's no company behind it. PayPal handles the payment directly. Your card number never touches anything I run.
It's a focused v3 release by a solo maker, so there will be rough edges. When you find one, tell me — the fastest way to shape this product is to email [email protected]. Bug reports, feature requests, and brutal feedback are all genuinely welcome. The changelog shows what's shipping.
