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

Ratings and Reviews
Clear, simple and nice word processing app
Really nice app. Use it for all th writing I have to do.
Would be a 5 Star app if it had Markdown support.
Simple, and simply good …
For writers who really want to focus on the words alone, Writeroom is great. For complicated, multi-chapter stuff I turn to the wonderful Scrivener, but for first drafts or shorter pieces Writeroom is the choice. A shame that the iOS version is no longer being developed, because I do use the iPhone to edit or review pieces written on Writeroom on the Mac (linked via Dropbox) … but the Mac version is worth it as a standalone text tool.
It’s the word processor that I’m drawn to
There’s something about WriteRoom, & I’ve been using it for years without ever rating it, & today for some reason I felt compelled to say: I really like this software. Each morning I tap away at it doing my Morning Pages: a retro screen, flashing cursor. It doesn’t disturb or correct me, it just lets me get on with it.
