Sunday: Writing Tools, Software, and Hardware Upcoming AMA posts We talk about important matters for writers, news affecting writers, and the finer aspects of the writing craft. It has more in-depth information.Welcome to the home for writers. Read this review about the same apps that I mentioned. If you’re tired of finding simple writing app, try the combination of nvALT and simplenote on Mac or simplenote apps for multiple platforms.You will like them. ![]() You can get it by tweaking the preference. So, if you do not use Mac, try simplenote app for your devices.īy the way, another reason I chose nvALT is that it gives the typical distraction free setting of green characters with black background. nvALT is only for Mac OS though simplenote is available for Mac, Windows, IOS and android and even Linux. That is what I like and want from a writing app and nvALT delivers on that. nvALT shows your word counts on the right top corner in a real time. Both apps work identically except one point.

This means if you’re still reading this post and you want to write a novel, you should stop reading □ This post is relevant only for people who just want a simple system of writing tons of note and finding the right note quickly.

It feels nice to have all the great and complicated features in expensive software but at the end of the day, I rarely use them while writing. And if I can add third, though I first said two features, word count should be visible all the time while writing. Second, the interface should be simple and good looking. First, fast and reliable sync across different devices. Looking back on my experience with all those apps that include – based on my rough memory – Scrivener, Ulysses, Writeroom, Writemonkey, and too many apps for distraction-free writing, I realize I only need two features from my writing app. ![]() iPhones, an android phone and tablets, MacBook air and Mac mini and windows laptops. I have tried lots of writing software for different machines. ![]() Like a knight searching for the holy grail, I have been looking for the best writing app for the last 20 years.
