Beautiful docs.
No browser required.
Documents that work offline and look beautiful. Native apps, not browser tabs.
Which one is right for you?
Craft
Full offline that actually works — Google Docs offline is flaky and limited
Native apps with instant launch — not another browser tab eating RAM
Beautiful documents with covers and typography — not word processor formatting
Apple Pencil drawing and annotation built-in
One-click web publishing — share beautiful pages, not permission-gated links
Google Docs
Enterprise Google Workspace integration is required for your org
Heavy multi-user editing with 10+ simultaneous editors
You need advanced comments/suggestion mode for editorial workflows
Deep Google Drive ecosystem (Sheets, Slides, Forms) is essential
Google Docs is the default for real-time collaboration, but it requires internet, produces generic-looking documents, and its offline mode is unreliable. Craft gives you native speed, full offline, beautiful output, and collaboration — without living in a browser.

「 Craftは、Notionのようなごちゃごちゃした要素を取り除きながら、 Obsidianのようにシンプルすぎることもない。まさに機能と使いやすさの完璧なバランスを実現しています。動作はシームレスで、同期はほぼ瞬時。そしてアプリのデザインは、MacやiPadにまるで最初から馴染んでいたかのような自然さを感じさせます。」

よくある質問
For personal and small-team document creation, yes. Craft offers native apps, full offline support, beautiful design, and AI included — all without living in a browser. For large enterprise collaboration with 10+ simultaneous editors, Google Docs may still be needed.
Writers, students, professionals, and creators who want beautiful documents with native app speed and full offline access. If you're tired of browser tabs, generic formatting, and flaky offline mode, Craft is your upgrade.
Yes. Craft supports real-time collaboration, comments, shared spaces, and team folders. The key difference: Craft also works fully offline, syncing changes when you reconnect — something Google Docs struggles with.
Google Docs is free with a Google account (15GB shared storage). Craft has a generous free tier with AI included, and Plus starts at $7.99/month. For teams, Google Workspace costs $7.20-$18/user/month while Craft offers competitive team pricing.
Native offline on all platforms, Apple Pencil drawing, one-click web publishing with beautiful design, document covers and typography, collections for structured data, and API/MCP integration. Google Docs is a word processor; Craft is a modern document platform.
Significantly. Craft works fully offline on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows, and Web — create, edit, organize, search. Google Docs offline requires Chrome, needs pre-setup, and is notoriously unreliable, especially on non-Chrome browsers.
Yes. Download your Google Docs as .docx files from Google Drive, then import them into Craft. Formatting, headings, and structure are preserved. For bulk migration, use Google Takeout to export everything at once.
Craft produces much more visually appealing documents with covers, custom typography, cards, callouts, toggles, and rich media. Google Docs follows traditional word processor formatting — functional but generic-looking.
Craft, because it's a native app. It launches instantly without waiting for a browser tab to load. No internet lag, no tab crashes, no competition with other browser tabs for memory. Sub-second sync when online.
Craft offers Spaces, folders, collections, linked documents, and tags. Google Docs relies on Google Drive folders shared with all your other files. Craft keeps documents organized separately from spreadsheets and presentations.
Better. Craft publishes beautiful, designed web pages with one click. Google Docs 'Publish to Web' creates basic HTML with no design control. Craft's published pages look professional without any extra work.
Yes. Craft has full native Apple Pencil support for drawing and annotating directly in documents. Google Docs only supports basic drawing inserts — not native handwriting in the document flow.
Both offer AI writing assistance. Craft includes AI free in all plans. Google Docs uses Gemini, included in Workspace plans. The key difference: Craft's AI works offline and integrates natively with the document editing experience.
If you value offline access, beautiful documents, native app performance, and not living in a browser — absolutely. If your workflow depends heavily on Google Workspace integration and enterprise-scale real-time editing, the switch may be less compelling.
Yes. Craft offers a free Education plan with full Plus features. Better for notes, essays, and portfolios with beautiful formatting. Google Docs is fine for group assignments but lacks Craft's organization and design capabilities.
Craft for writing, Google Docs for editorial collaboration. Craft gives writers distraction-free native apps, beautiful typography, full offline, and one-click publishing. Google Docs is better when multiple editors need suggestion mode.
Craft syncs in under a second and works fully offline. Google Docs syncs in real-time when online but has unreliable offline support. Craft's approach is better for people who work in cafes, planes, or anywhere with spotty internet.
Download your Google Docs as .docx files from Drive (select multiple, right-click → Download). Import them into Craft via the Import feature. Formatting is preserved. For bulk export, use Google Takeout.
