Grafida is a cross-platform desktop application for creating and editing Joomla!® articles. It talks to your site over the Joomla Web Services (REST) API, keeps your work in a local database, and publishes only when you say so.

Grafida is a tool for focused content authoring. It does not attempt to put Joomla's article editor and backend interface in a desktop application, nor does it concern itself with content management. We provided a carefully curated list of features to make authoring content enjoyable while maintaining a familiar interface.

This documentation can be found in the application itself, using the Help item. The documentation of the latest published version can also be found in our GitHub project's wiki.
