What is Strut?
Strut is a writing workspace designed to keep notes, documents, and projects organised in one place. It combines traditional document management with AI-assisted writing tools, allowing you to switch between different views (list, grid, kanban) depending on how you prefer to work. The platform is built for writers, content teams, and anyone managing multiple writing projects who wants both focused writing time and project oversight. Real-time collaboration means multiple people can work on documents together, whilst cloud sync keeps everything updated across your devices. Whether you're working alone or in a team, Strut aims to reduce the friction between planning, drafting, and publishing.
