What’s New
Version 1.3.4
Hello everyone! Small update with an important bug fix for Japanese users.
Fixed
- Fix Auto-completion in Japanese: I had to remove the Ctrl/Shift + Enter shortcut to add new lines and instead bring back the classic Option + Enter shortcut. It was causing too many issues with Japanese keywords and not sustainable in the long term. - Thanks to Hidemi, Akira, Tsuyoshi, and Yoshihiro for pointing this out!

Ratings and Reviews
Great Little App with very Responsive Developer!
It's hard to get a feel for what this app does from the description and the Screen Shots. In short, you can create a text file with this app and add entries to it very quickly through its efficient streamlined interface.
What the description doesn't tell you is the details of how this works. You can choose to save the text file anywhere you like. Or you can choose an existing text file for this app to manage and update. Note: When selected an existing file, the OS will warn you that you are about to overwrite the file. This isn't the case. The app will not overwrite the file, but rather add it to its list of text files that it is managing which you can select from its UI. Then you can quickly make entries into any of the text files you've told it about.
Very clever idea and an app I didn't know I needed, but now love.

Thank you very much for this amazing review!
I will definitely improve the description and screenshots based on your feedback!
Perfect stream-of-thought note taking app!
While I still need to bake my habit a bit more, Type provides a seamless interface to getting your thoughts out of your head so you can focus on the task at hand without worrying you'll forget your thought or becoming distracted.

Thank you for the nice review! :)
zero friction, super intuitive
Type is the exact quick entry note taking app I've been searching for! Intuitive controls, lightning fast, and supremely flexible formatting, storage locations, and file types. Nicolas has a near perfect app with the v1.1 update. Awesome stuff!!
