I built a desktop app called Draftsmith because I was tired of juggling prompts in ChatGPT and paying monthly fees for tools I used only occasionally.

• Write blog posts faster: idea -> structured draft in ~15 minutes.

• Desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux). No cloud sync, no subscriptions.

• Bring your own API key (OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.). You see and control costs.

• Keeps your writing style consistent (no "generic AI fluff").

• One-time purchase - you own it.

Why a desktop app? I wanted something I could actually own, not rent. No recurring bills, no SaaS lock-in. Just download it, plug in your key, and write.

I built this in 3 weeks as a small bet — a focused tool that does one thing well.

Would love feedback from fellow HNers, especially around distribution, positioning, and whether this "post-SaaS" approach resonates.
