Features

Three apps. One calm desk.

Everything you need for documents, spreadsheets and PDFs, designed to feel familiar from the first click.

Silkie Write icon

Silkie Write

The word processor

From a one-page letter to a long report with citations, Silkie Write gives your writing the typography it deserves, and saves it as a Word document anyone can open.

Word documents

Open and save .docx files, keeping fonts, styles, themes and colours.

Track changes & comments

Suggest edits, leave notes, and accept or reject changes one by one.

Citations

Add sources and references for school and professional papers.

Mail merge

Personalise letters and labels for a whole list of people at once.

Headers, footers & Quick Parts

Page numbers, letterheads and reusable blocks of text.

Design tab

Themes, colour sets and font pairs. Set your favourite as the default.

Silkie Sheets icon

Silkie Sheets

The spreadsheet

Household budgets, small-business books and project plans, with the formulas you already know and charts that make the numbers easy to read.

Excel workbooks

Open and save .xlsx files, including Excel's theme colours and cell styles.

Formulas

Sums, lookups, dates and more, with a formula bar that feels familiar.

Charts

Turn a range of cells into a clear, good-looking chart in a few clicks.

Pivot tables

Summarise long lists by month, category or person.

Format cells

Number formats, borders, fills and alignment, exactly how you want them.

Print layouts

Page Layout themes, margins and print settings for tidy printouts.

Silkie PDF icon

Silkie PDF

The PDF editor

Read, edit, sign and organise PDFs. Unlike online PDF tools, nothing is uploaded: your contracts and forms stay on your PC.

Edit text

Fix a typo or update a date, in the PDF's original font when it's installed.

Annotate

Highlights, notes and text boxes in any Windows font.

Fill forms & sign

Complete PDF forms and place your signature.

True redaction

Blacked-out text is really removed, not just covered up.

OCR

Make scanned pages searchable and selectable.

Organise & more

Compare versions, process files in batches, edit bookmarks and metadata, and export to PDF/A.

The signature tool places an image of your signature. It is not a certified digital signature.

See it on your files.

The best way to judge is with the documents you use every day. The trial is free for 30 days.
