Introducing the Zerowriter Fold, a new word processor developed in Canada that prioritizes distraction-free writing through its e-ink display, reminiscent of popular e-readers. This device is specifically engineered for text creation, free from subscription models, with a single upfront payment.
The Zerowriter Fold is currently gathering support via Kickstarter, with initial shipments planned for January 2027. This first wave includes the device, a charging cable, a handbook, and a keycap puller. Subsequent pledges for March 2027 shipments are available at CAD$355.
Designed to maximize focus, the Zerowriter Fold eschews advanced features found in desktop processors. It boasts a 6-inch e-ink screen and a customizable mechanical keyboard. Users can select Drafting Mode for uninterrupted writing or Word Processing Mode for essential editing tools.
Exporting options include saving to SD cards, QR code transfer to smartphones, or USB-C connection. A standout feature is its exceptional battery life, offering up to 100 hours of use per charge due to the low-power e-ink screen, potentially lasting weeks between charges.
The company, established in 2024, previously released the Zerowriter Ink. They describe the Zerowriter Fold as their first fully realized product, building on earlier designs.
