Clean Writer Pro

Clean Writer Pro sehr gutes Programm aus Cognitive Bits

Release-Datum 13 years ago 1.3 version.
Unleash your imagination and beat writers block. Inspired by the workflow of old-school typewriters, Clean Writer Pro has minimalist features and full-screen uncluttered interface designed for bloggers, journalists and writers - helping them unchain their creativity and beat writers block.

Clean Writer Pro is a single-purpose text editor covering 80% of your writing needs. Small memory footprint, fast to launch, effective, it hides complex options and UI and removes rarely used features so that you stop wasting focus with buttons and irrelevant settings and start creating instead.

When you’re done typing your email, articles, blog posts, poems or short stories, you might look for other software to get it formatted, arranged and prepared for publishing. Thats fine. Clean Writer Pro’s purpose was fulfilled.

* Basic but great feature set *

Minimalist interface; paragraph fade mode; live counters; full-screen distraction-free writing; limited color themes and font options; designed for PLAIN TEXT and Markdown preview, but useable (with caveats) for importing and minor editing of Rich Text files.

----------
* IMPORTANT *
----------

The app wont create new documents by default (reopening instead the previously opened ones); therefore, when you first launch it, it might seem like nothing happens.

Just start a new file (menu bar File->New or Cmd+N keyboard shortcut), or open an existing one (menu File->Open or drag-drop a document on the Clean Writer Pro icon in the doc) and youre ready to go.
