Your files never leave your computer. No account, no upload, no subscription. The installed app works without internet from the very first start.

In the browser, everything works except folder browsing, opening Word / Excel / PowerPoint files and passwords; those need the desktop app.

Handy everywhere: several documents in tabs, Ctrl K to find any command, Ctrl S to save, and ? for all keyboard shortcuts.
Free software usually means two things. Here it means three.
- Free as in "free bread": it takes nothing from your pocket.
- Free as in "free to control": use it for any purpose, and share it with anyone.
- Free as in "friction free": your work flows the way you like to work. One task, many paths, from different tools, by mouse or by keyboard.
The third freedom is still growing. Each new version is one more step toward it, and that's a commitment.
Inside Loeito, click Help (?): quick help, short tutorials, the User Manual and keyboard shortcuts. The same documents are here:
- Help: what each tool does, in short
- User Manual: how to use everything, step by step
- Tutorials: 15 short hands-on lessons, one per tool
- Reference Manual: how Loeito works inside, for developers
