About

Writebox is a simple and distraction-free text editor for web. Writebox accesses your file contents, file name and folder tree through Dropbox/Google API. We don't store your file contents in our server, we save it in your local cache. We don't read your file contents, we just convert the file encoding to show characters correctly. We store the filepath of the file you last opened in Writebox in our server. This is for syncing the last edited file across devices. We collect analytics data through Google Analytics when you use Writebox. This is used only for service improvement. Writebox is a simple and distraction-free text editor for Chrome, iOS and the web.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's free and open-source, extremely fast start-up times, uses very little memory, and surprisingly customizable (I barely did any myself though; I wanted to keep it light). I find it useful for swiftly taking notes at a moment's notice, but I have also used it to quickly peek through config files, source code, or even certain text documents--they all just work. As a user who swaps between Windows and Linux, it being cross-platform is such a huge plus for me, and is the leading reason why I use it over Notepad++. As much as I like tinkering with software and hardware alike, I also don't want to find out that certain features I use regularly on one OS's notepad don't exist on other OS's notepads, even some third-party ones. It's just some peace of mind.

Cons

  • It lags for ~1 sec when it wraps text for the first time since the app was opened. Even after using this app for over a year, I still find the logo hard to identify as a text editor of any kind. I still have to tell people who borrow my laptop that my notepad app is this, even when it's pinned to the taskbar and start menu.
