Description
Papr is a calm, distraction-free writing editor for WordPress. Papr is currently in beta and under active development.
It provides a focused environment for writing and managing posts, while WordPress continues to handle content storage, publishing, users, and permissions. Papr is designed for writers who want clarity while writing, without replacing WordPress as a CMS.
Papr does not change your theme or frontend. All content is saved directly to WordPress and remains fully compatible with the block editor and existing themes.
How it works
- Install and activate the Papr plugin
- Connect your WordPress site to the Papr web application
- Write and manage posts in a calm, focused editor
- Publish, update, or delete posts as usual — WordPress remains the source of truth
