“This is a super-clean writing space with a lot of configurability that stays out of sight when you don’t need it.” App Store Review, 2020 # STORY Read it here → paper.pro/story # HIGHLIGHTS · Gorgeous writing space · Silky-smooth typing · Deep personalization (Pro) · Markdown or Plain Text · Syncs with iCloud · Previews in Marked 2 · Publishes drafts to Medium, WordPress, Ghost, or Micro.blog · Exports to PDF, HTML, RTF, DOCX, ePub, image, or clipboard · Works seamlessly across your Mac, iPad, and iPhone # PRO FEATURES Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly, though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed, so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment. While trialing Pro Features, you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely. Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your Macs that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to Macs. iPhones and iPads require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase). The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it, press the "Show one-time purchase" button in the Pro Features popup that appears in the View menu. If you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license), click the Paper menu, hold the Option key of your keyboard, and select the respective upgrade under Purchases. # BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS Businesses, schools, and organizations can use one of the following methods to purchase the Pro version of the app: · Apple Business Manager · Apple School Manager · Volume Purchasing The Pro version of the app can be accessed from this link → paper.pro/get # MARKDOWN FORMATTING SYNTAX # Heading 1 ## Heading 2 ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4 ##### Heading 5 ###### Heading 6 **Bold** __Bold__ *Italic* _Italic_ ~Underline~ ~~Strikethrough~~ ==Highlight== ::Highlight:: `Inline Code` ``` Code Block ``` [Link Text](https://paper.pro) ![Alt Text](https://image.jpeg) - Bulleted List - Bulleted List - Nested Bulleted List - Nested Bulleted List * Bulleted List * Bulleted List * Nested Bulleted List * Nested Bulleted List 1.

No. Paper is purely a plain-text editor. ## Can I add pictures? You can only link to public images on the Internet. ## Can I password-protect my notes? No. ## Paper changes the font when I switch between alphabetic and non-alphabetic input sources. How to prevent it? · Change the input source to a non-alphabetic one (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc). · Click the "View" menu. · Hold the "Option" key on your keyboard. · Under the "Font" submenu, toggle "Keep for Alphabetic Input Sources". ## Need more help? You can reach me from the in-app chat. · Go to the "Help" menu. · Select "Ask the Developer" from the menu. # PAPER Paper is the perfect writing space for: · Drafts · Books · Poetry · Essays · Novels · Scripts · Stories · Letters · Articles · Blogging · Note-taking · Screenplays · Screenwriting · Aesthetic notes · Creative writing · Blank paper inspiration · Distraction-free writing · Overcoming writer’s block # ALTERNATIVES · iA Writer · Ulysses · Byword · Typora · Notes · Bear # TERMS OF USE paper.pro/terms-of-use

Others have said it, and I agree: this is a brilliantly concieved app. Simple and elegant - a pleasure to see and to use. I use it for notes, letters, memos and email. Now that lists are supported (thank you, Mihhail!) I use Paper for outlining, too. Paper won’t waste your screen space or your time with frivolous things, it just lets you get on with your writing. Paper is a serious tool: but there is a marvelous element of whimsy mixed in: you willl see when you try it! I mean, how often does a “productivity” app make you smile?Mihhail has a vision of what he wants his app to be, but, I can tell you that if you have ideas or suggestions for him, then by all means contact him. He always responds and will listen, and help. It has been fun to watch this app grow with each of Mihhail’s “pleasant updates…” Cheers!

Best Writing Tool I’ve Ever Found
Aug 12

Yosef Itz.
This App…. Paper… is, to date, the simplest and sharpest writing tool I’ve ever come across. Clear to use. Easy to use. Beautiful to use. No distractions.Whoever made this app is either a genius or deeply, deeply in tune with The Writer — because they’ve plugged in every tiny little feature you could ever want. Not big, bloated, complex stuff. But the kind of small, thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at home. Like the option to turn on a subtle typing sound effect that somehow helps you slip right into the sauce of writing.There’s even a “chat with the maker” feature where you can message the team directly if you have questions (and yes, it feels personal). You can resize the window however you like, which makes it perfect whether you want a wide canvas or a narrow strip on the side of your screen.It’s superb for first drafts — fiction, essays, even emails — just a clean, open space to spill it all out.In a time when writing on a computer often feels like a battle against a thousand distractions, Paper is hands-down the most welcoming and rewarding way to type I’ve ever found.Paper Writing App — Thank you.

A Dream Come True for an ADD Writer

CR3ATIV3Kevin
I like the simplicity. I have pretty creative mind paired with severe A.D.D. and am very easily distracted by other elements within the usual writing applicatioins like Pages & Word (Don't get me wrong, Pages is my program of choice when it comes to creating my final documents with its impressive design elements and photo enhancement abilities), but Paper is where my actual writing takes place. It is simple to use, and still beautiful. So many "wrtiting focused" apps are dull beyond recognition to the point where it feels like you are working on an old DOS command line system. Paper takes that simplicty and pairs it with modern elegance. I absolutely love that.

I really like this app. So clean and simple while still being powerful and functional enough to do everything I need. It jives with my minimalist mentality without forcing me to go absolutely barebones.Among my favorite features are Typewriter Mode, which keeps my text vertically centered so I never have to tilt my head to the bottom of my screen or readjust my window; and Focus Mode which keeps only my current paragraph or sentence (my choice) highlighted and fades everything else to grey. I have a couple of other apps that do these things but fail in other areas. I'm an OCD and nitpicky writer. I'm so glad I found Paper.The cherry on top is the price! $9.99 for an app I can use (and enjoy!) every day? Some have complained about the price, but ten bucks is a steal. I hope others will also toss a tip in when they are able in order to keep the app in active development.Of course, if I have any issues, if they have not been addressed *after* reaching out to support, I will note them here. That said, if it just keeps doing what it does I should be happy. :)
