@ravishanker_ Hi Ravi! Yes, we used Zenpen's open-source code as a starting point to build Zen. And we give a credit to Tim Holman for this work. We also mentioned him in a "Credits" section on the Zen webpage.
Hi Product Hunt 👋,
My name is Nazir, I'm one of Zen makers.
We've created Zen for ourselves a couple of years ago to easily write and edit texts w/o leaving a browser.
Zen is not something completely unique, it's inspired by apps like a5.gg, Zenpen and Writer.
We've combined features we like and also added some new ones we were missing.
At this moment Zen features include:
- 🔏 Private data storage (all the data stores only locally in your browser);
- 📃 Markdown support;
- 🎨 Customizable appearance;
- ⌨️ Typewriter sounds;
- 🖨 Print and 💾 Save.
We want to continue delivering some new features in the future.
Zen is not optimized for mobile browsers yet, so for better experience use it on the desktop.
I hope Zen would be also useful for somebody else here.
Let me know if you have any feedback.
Love this tool! Really useful when you need to write down any thoughts very quickly.

@raj4057 Hi! Thanks for feedback! Do you mean you can't download text file on the disk? We'll check it. Please let me know if there's anything else to share.
Very happy with this product, use it daily! Very handy. Glad it has cut/paste keyboard shortcuts. :)
It does everything that you would expect of a minimal browser-based text editor. It's so easy to work with Zen by Unit I love it <3
