Write Markdown. Publish a site you own.
crofty turns your Markdown into a live site on your own domain. To share it, one click copies a summary and link you can paste anywhere. It keeps nothing.
A blog, a portfolio, a shop, a studio — one tool, your domain, you own it.

$ scoop install crofty
how it works
You write. crofty does the rest.
- 1writeMarkdown, by you or your own AI. We never touch your content.
- 2buildOne source becomes your site, plus a short summary ready to share.
- 3deployStraight to your own host. Never through our servers.
- 4shareOne click copies the summary and link — paste it anywhere. The whole thing stays on your site.
Every step is just a command — crofty build, deploy, share. Run them yourself, or have your terminal's AI agent run crofty agent and hand it the whole flow at once.
what you own
contentPlain Markdown, on your machine.
domainYour address, not a profile on a platform.
audienceA list you can export.
what crofty keeps
Nothing.
No account to create. No copy on our servers. If crofty vanished tomorrow, you'd lose nothing of yours.
yours to shape
lookSwap themes or tweak the tokens — your site, down to the typeface.
languageWrite in more than one. Readers land in theirs, automatically.
domainYour own domain, published straight to your own host.
supportDrop in a Stripe link. The money never touches us.
what you can verify
- nothing of yours — no custody
- no phone-home — nothing tracked
- open source — auditable
- clear way out — it's plain Hugo to begin with

A real site built with crofty — words, images, code, video, diagrams, even sheet music. demo.crofty.site →

The rich bits are optional — off by default, opt-in per post, and the one place crofty touches JavaScript. Everything else is plain and fast.
Not the easiest.
The only one that's truly yours.
Stacked over time, it's proof a person was here — what you lived, what you chose, how you told it.
