    Draft

    Draft

    Draft

    You don't need writing software; you need someone's feedback on your writing. You don't need version control software; you need to find all the things you've written without fear. You don't need distraction free text editors; you need to find ways to write more concisely, more clearly. You don't need real time collaboration software; you need a bigger audience for your writing. We're working on Draft to provide what you need. When I share a Google Doc, collaborators overwrite my master copy. It's insanely difficult to accept individual changes they've made. However, when you share your document using Draft, any changes your collaborator makes are on their own copy of the document, and you get to accept or ignore each individual change they make. With Draft, as you go along, you can mark major versions of your work. When you want to compare your old drafts, you have a powerful view to see how your document changed over time.

    Focused

    Focused

    Codebots

    We think Focused is the new benchmark for markdown writing apps that will enable you to really focus on your work. Building on the amazing Typed app from Realmac Software, Codebots is proud to bring you Focused for Mac. Focused is not just a distraction-free writing app, it’s the first writing app that actually aids your focus. Markdown was created by John Gruber as an easy to read plain text format that allows you to create web based content with no HTML knowledge. The syntax that is used when writing markdown allows you to define the intent of different elements in the markdown document e.g. a # in front of a word indicates that the word is to be formatted and displayed as a Title. Markdown removes the need to memorize complex HTML tags, and an ever growing number of blogging platforms allow markdown to be used for content creation. No clutter, no distractions. Just a perfectly crafted set of tools to help you write and stay focused on the task at hand.

    yWriter

    yWriter

    Spacejock Software

    yWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. yWriter was designed by an author, not a salesman! yWriter7 is free to download and use, but you're encouraged to register your copy if you find it useful. If you're just embarking on your first novel a program like yWriter may seem like overkill. I mean, all you have to do is type everything into a word processor! Sure, but wait until you hit 20,000 words, with missing scenes and chapters, notes all over your desk, characters and locations and plot points you've just added and which need to be referenced earlier ... it becomes a real struggle. Now imagine that same novel at 40,000 or 80,000 words! No wonder most first-time writers give up.

    woofmark

    A modular, progressive, and beautiful Markdown and HTML editor. Markdown lets you produce rich HTML-formatted text by writing plain text. You can write code, text in italics or give them a “bolder” format. You can create headings by prefixing them with one or more hash characters (#). The less hashes they have, the more prominent your headings become. Creating links is merely a matter of wrapping some text in brackets and referencing a resource locator, like the ones you’ll find at the bottom of this text. Images can be embedded just the same, except you’ll have to prefix the wrapped text with an exclamation mark. The buttons provided look kind of rough, but that's on purpose, it's up to you to style them and the API helps you do that. Small and focused, progressive, enhance a raw textarea. Markdown, HTML, and WYSIWYG input modes. Text selection persists even across input modes! Built in undo and redo. Entirely customizable styles.
