ClarisWorks & AppleWorks,
without the emulator.

Field notes

Which versions — and which formats?

ClarisWorks 1 through AppleWorks 6, word-processing documents first and foremost. The engine (libmwaw) actually reads around forty legacy Mac formats — MacWrite, WriteNow, Nisus Writer, Microsoft Word for Mac 1–5, ClarisWorks’ ancestors — so if you have some other old Mac file, rename it to .cwk and try it.

My file has no extension at all

Classic Mac files often don’t — the type lived in the resource fork. Add .cwk to the filename and upload; the engine identifies the real format from the contents.

What happens to my file?

It’s written to a private temporary folder for the few seconds the conversion engine needs, then deleted — nothing is retained, logged or shared. No account, no email, no “files kept for 24 hours” fine print. These are often someone’s letters, family records or old business files; we treat them accordingly.
