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

Simple and solid

I've been using WriteRoom for around two years, and I have never had any problems with it. It does what it's supposed to do. Whether it's worth $30 or not, I don't know. But I've used software that's similar (OmmWriter, JDarkRoom, PyRoom on Linux) and haven't liked the feel of them quite as much. Default colours are a bit geeky, but you can change them.
Like other reviews... this program LAGS.

I am running this program on the most up-to-date Macbook Pro, yet it still lags to a point of unusability. Thinking about command-tabbing out of the program and back in? Be willing to sacrifice 10 seconds of your life to be able to type again. I honestly would request my money back if it was possible. Utter disappointment.
Don't Buy

This program lags to the point of being unusable. You type a word and it shows up 2 seconds later. Save your money.
The tool for text.

If you are serious about working with text, you need a serious text editor.WriteRoom has what you need: your text, autosave and a word count.It has nothing you don't need: fancy formatting, 'helpful' assistants, or row after row of tiny icons.When you need to type a lot of text and you don't need to worry about what it looks like, this is the tool for you. I've owned it and used it for two years, and will gladly pay for it again to have it auto-install and update on every Mac in own in the future.
