Local first, not cloud first
Your library lives on your Mac, and every puzzle exports to plain text you own. cw works with the network off and keeps working if the service goes away.

An offline-first crossword app.
Make puzzles on your Mac and share them with your friends and community. Everything works offline.
Four tiers of who can see it
Keep a puzzle local, share it with named recipients, publish it to your followers, or publish it to anyone. Every tier is enforced by authorization, not by an unlisted link.
One link per puzzle
Publishing mints one address under your username, and it is frozen from then on. Anyone you send it to can open it; recipients get it synced into their own library.
Solve stats are your call
You decide at publish time whether solve data is collected — and if it is, the solver is told before they start.
