Hey PHers! 👋
I'm Luke, thrilled to introduce Effie - an all-in-one content creation suite that seamlessly integrates minimalist writing, mind mapping, and intelligent AI assistance.
What inspired me to create Effie?
As a content creator, I often found myself struggling with existing tools:
So-called "immersive writing" apps like Ulysses or Bear are still cluttered with buttons. Not exactly distraction-free, right?
These apps often lack Windows and Android versions. They take the easy route with iCloud sync, leaving many users out in the cold.
While outlining tools like Workflowy exist, they fall short in truly streamlining the writing process.
The AI support in most writing tools feels disconnected. I was tired of copying text between multiple windows.
I thought, "There has to be a better way!"
That's when Effie was born. :)
How Effie transforms your writing experience:
Truly distraction-free: Our writing area is as clean as a blank sheet of paper - not a single button in sight.
Seamless cross-platform experience: Write effortlessly across all your devices with automatic syncing. No platform left behind!
Integrated outlining and mind mapping: Clarify your thoughts and structure your ideas without switching tools.
Your intelligent writing companion: Our AI chat sits right beside your document, ready to inspire when you need it most. It can analyze your writing style, discover similar authors, provide professional editor's feedback, and more - all without leaving your writing space.

@yuhao_ye Hey Leo! Thank you for your enthusiasm! You've perfectly captured what we set out to achieve with Effie!

Your writing journey matters to us, and we're constantly working to make it even more focused and efficient. Feel free to reach out if you have any suggestions or ideas! :)
@victorzh @luke_pioneero Amazing launch, guys! This could just beat Obsidian I think. Have already downloaded it! Are there any premium features, or is it completely free?
Effie

Effie does have both free and premium features. The free version gives you access to core features like the minimalist writing interface, basic outlining, and mind mapping capabilities.
Our premium version (Effie Pro) unlocks additional powerful features including:

@sandy_liusy @luke_pioneero This is what happens when a writer actually builds the tool they wish existed.
I love the idea of Effie combining mind mapping, minimalist writing, and AI — especially with real cross-platform support. So many "distraction-free" apps ironically distract me with buttons, sync bugs, or just being Mac-only 🙃
🔥 That inline AI feels like a game-changer. Curious: can it help restructure a messy draft (e.g. turn bullet points into a smooth article) or identify tone inconsistencies?
Also — love that you’re going beyond ChatGPT-like helpers and into editor territory (style analysis, author suggestions… 👏).
Congrats on the launch, Luke! This could be the new go-to for creators who think visually and write deeply.
Effie
@kui_jason Thanks for diving deep into the design thinking! You're spot on - those friction points from other writing tools directly shaped Effie's development.
On restructuring: yes, the AI can help transform rough notes into structured content while preserving your voice. It analyzes flow, transitions, and tone consistency. You stay in control, but get smart suggestions for improving coherence.
The visual-verbal connection was key for us - mind maps shouldn't feel bolted-on to the writing process. They should naturally feed into your drafts.
Keep the feature ideas coming! We're constantly evolving based on how creators actually work.
Congrats！
PH Deck
@onbing Thanks! 🚀
Congrats to your launch! The mind map feature looks really helpful. Can it write long novel? What's the maximum length?
Effie
@emma_thompson111 Thanks for your kind words! 🙏
Absolutely, Effie is designed for both short and long-form writing, including novels! There's no word limit restriction. Our cloud sync ensures your work is safely stored and accessible across devices.
The mind mapping feature can help you organize your novel's plot, characters, and story arcs. You can easily switch between mind map and outline views to maintain a clear structure while writing.
Hope this helps with your writing journey!
I LOVE the logo
As someone who likes to use writing as a thinking tool, I'm really intrigued by your premise
I tried it out and I would say that the app is a little messy right now, if you removed a few non-essential features and removed some UI elements to focus EVERYTHING on just getting started with a new note/document, and then focus on augmenting that, I would be really happy. You could also just keep all the features but make me discover them when I need them, right now all the options are distracting me from getting started and getting the AHA moment early. Great work though!
Effie
@sebastian_thunman Thanks for this valuable feedback! You're absolutely right about streamlining the initial experience. A cleaner interface focusing on the core writing flow first, with features revealed progressively - this makes perfect sense.
We'll work on it!
This is truly a product for writers — built with them at the center. Wish you good luck with the launch! 🎉
Effie
@kay_arkain Thanks! That means a lot - writers are indeed at the heart of everything we do.
As a writer, I appreciate the focus this brings! 😄
Effie
@shenjun Thanks! That's exactly what we aimed for - helping writers stay focused on what matters most: writing.
Congratulations on the launch of Effie! The integration of AI-powered templates and cross-device syncing is impressive. Looking forward to seeing how it transforms content creation!

@mihir_kanzariya Thank you! We're excited to see how writers like you use Effie to create amazing content.

@tomcao2012 Thank you for such thoughtful feedback! It means a lot that you understand exactly what we're trying to solve - eliminating the friction of switching between multiple tools so you can stay focused on creating.

In today’s world of information overload, simplicity is more than a design choice—it’s a necessity. Effie’s sleek, distraction-free interface is a breath of fresh air for writers who just want to focus and create. The seamless blend of minimalist writing, mind mapping, and in-context AI support feels thoughtfully designed. Definitely a tool that stands out for content creators. Congrats on the launch!
Effie
@auroraw Thank you for such thoughtful words, AuroraW! You've captured exactly what we aimed for - that sweet spot between powerful features and focused simplicity. Your insight about minimalism being a necessity rather than just aesthetics really resonates with our design philosophy. Keep the feedback coming as we continue refining the experience!
I can't wait to see it
