That and high quality Markdown formatting-with standard keyboard shortcuts for formatting that add the correct markdown characters (say CMD+B adding two asterisks around the text for Bold). That’s hard to put a finger on, but iA Writer and Ulysses both feel so polished, that’s the biggest thing that makes them a pleasure to use. To me, the thing I can’t live without is a clean, nicely designed interface that makes writing feel nice.

Sublime Text plus Markdown Editing can be a great writing tool if you take the time to tweak it and add spell check and other writing-focused tools.The Most Dangerous Writing App is a hilarious way to force yourself to write if you stop before the timer is up it removes everything you’ve written.Super powerful if you take the time to set it up. Drafts is a great automated notes app where you write stuff and use actions to send it to other software.a quick store list or brainstormed article titles). Tot is a new scratchpad app I’ve been using to write down quick notes that don’t need to stay forever (e.g.Stuff being kept for the long term (especially for team collaboration) goes in Notion, or gets published on our blog’s CMS if it’s content for publication.

I also often use it for full long-form writing. It’s what I reach for when writing random things throughout the day instead of writing something in the text box of a website, I’ll write it there and copy it over. Love its simplicity and lack of settings-and that it provides a great Markdown writing experience while still being pure plain text. IA Writer is perhaps the writing app I’ve consistently used the longest. I’ve tried so many writing apps, and still use too many but find each has a unique spot and fits certain tasks better. This is a fun one-I have a soft spot for writing apps.
