Skye Hawke Software
A red-tailed hawk soaring against an open dawn sky

Software that stays on your desk.

Software that helps you navigate publishing, document retention and document conversion — from a type you don’t want, to the type you do want, per government regulations. It runs entirely on your own machine.

No account
Nothing to register, nothing to cancel, no user table anyone can breach.
No licence server
A licence is a signed file. It is checked on your machine and nowhere else.
No subscription
One payment, a perpetual licence. Updates for a year are included; a later major version is a new purchase you may decline.
No telemetry
The phone apps declare no internet permission at all, so the operating system enforces it for us.
The word processor

SkyeWriter

Written to replace Word for a working publisher, and then to hand the same file back out in whichever format the regulation names.

Windows · Linux · Android — macOS and iOS to follow

One manuscript, every format you are asked for.

Open the archive you already hold. Save the format you are now required to produce. SkyeWriter lays out a Microsoft Word document the way Word does, by measured rule, and writes print-ready PDF, tagged PDF/UA, EPUB, ODT, XPS and Markdown from the one source, with no round trip through anything cloud-based.

It sits beside LibreOffice rather than against it: a migration and output tool for the people who have to move decades of .docx into a mandated format, and for authors who want the interior they see to be the interior the printer gets.

The specification, with every measurement

A hawk with wings fully spread, high in a dawn sky
Zero differing leaves against Word’s own rendering. Measured, not asserted. Eight documents, among them a 318-page book and a 150-page book: every blank leaf, every printed page number, every line’s page, every contents number. The same file paginates to 0.000 pt on Windows and on Linux.
The apps

Small tools, one to a job

Each one keeps its records on the device that made them. Records leave only when you print, export or share them yourself.

All four, and the house rules they share

If the worst happens

Ransomware, fire, theft, flood. A lost key is replaced for a quarter of the licence price, and that charge is waived when you can show what happened. With three computers on one licence, a lost one rarely stops the work. Organisations can put the replacement of every seat, and a written response within two business days, under a yearly Assurance agreement — see For organisations.

What we do not offer, plainly

Email support from the person who wrote the software, with a written reply within two business days at the most. No telephone support. No out-of-hours cover. No response faster than two business days.

Those lines are there on purpose. Skye Hawke Software is one person, and a promise of voice support would be a lie. One loose claim would cost you your confidence in the measured ones.

For buyers in the European Union

Sales are handled through Payhip. Value added tax is collected at checkout and remitted through Payhip’s own registration, so the euro price you are shown, VAT included, is the price you pay.

You have fourteen days to withdraw from the purchase. Because the download is immediate, you are asked to consent to that at checkout, and the consent is a box you tick yourself, never a pre-ticked one.

Germany’s Deutschland-Stack of 18 March 2026 names ODF and PDF/UA. SkyeWriter writes both: its tagged PDF passes an independent PDF/UA validator, and its ODF output is measured against LibreOffice rather than assumed. The numbers are on the institutions page.
