Medium has released TK, a free writing app for the web, Android and iOS that combines notes and journaling with private group publishing, The Verge reports. Writers can share work through links or email and contribute to Libraries, where members can write, comment and react without a public-facing blog.

The app also lets users apply an AI model to search their notes, organize writing and request feedback. CEO Tony Stubblebine describes private blogging as a response to declining Google referrals. TK does not measure pageviews or reward authors for attracting traffic; a native desktop app is still forthcoming.
