REVIEWS

“But if, when it comes right down to it, full screen is your r grail, and the ultimate antidote to the bric-a-brac of Word, then you must enter the WriteRoom, the ultimate spartan writing utopia.”
— Virginia Heffernan, NYT

“Unlike practically everything else in our digital lives, WriteRoom's minimalist interface implies a truly flattering proposition: It's you, not the software, that matters.”
— Jeffrey MacIntyre, Slate

“WriteRoom’s minimalist interface also frees you from the nagging urge to fiddle with margins, fonts, and other settings, leaving you with nothing to do but write.”
— Nathan Alderman, MacWorld

“A perfectly balanced, indispensable part of any Mac writer’s toolkit.”
— Craig Grannell, Mac Format

If all you want is plain-text this is great

Unfortunately I need a fullscreen rich-text editor and this one is unusable with rich-text. Every time I open my rich-text doc it makes the text black on an almost-black background in fullscreen so I can't see it. This is even after I make the text white and save it. Huh?

I'll prob get a refund - paying $10 for a text-editor I expect premium and perfection etc.

Not working, no support

I have purchased this software, worked couple of times and then crashed and refused to work after that, I have uninstalled and re-installed it , yet to no avail.
I have also went to the support forum for this app and posted the issue , yet, no response has came back.
Spend your money somewhere else.

Not worth $15

Don’t waste your money, this is so overpriced for the (lack of) functionality it provides. Just use Sublime Text or any other editor with Distraction-free mode. Definitely buyer’s remorse over here.
