Hosting WriteFreely, answered

What does Zenith manage for WriteFreely?
Zenith provisions and runs the infrastructure for WriteFreely: its isolated instance, persistent storage, network route, Zenith subdomain and SSL certificate.
How is my WriteFreely data stored?
Your WriteFreely instance has persistent storage isolated to its deployment. Zenith does not train AI models on your private hosted content.
Can I move WriteFreely off Zenith later?
WriteFreely is open source, so the software itself is not tied to Zenith. Data portability and export options depend on the features WriteFreely provides.
Is this the full open-source WriteFreely?
Yes. Zenith runs the genuine open-source WriteFreely on your own instance — not a stripped-down fork. You get the features the project ships, managed for you.

Your WriteFreely, ready in one click.

Deploy now and it's live in about two minutes. Map your own domain whenever you like.
