A distraction-free minimalist writing tool designed for writers, journalists and creative people.
* Just the right features, when you need them*
----------
* IMPORTANT *
If on first start Clean Writer Pro seems not top open, that's because it doesn't create any blank documents by default. You'll need to create a new file (menu bar File->New or Cmd+N keyboard shortcut), or open an existing file (menu File->Open or drag-drop a document on the Clean Writer Pro icon in the doc).
Subsequent starts will reopen previously opened files, so there won't be such confusions again.
--------------
Clean Writer Pro is NOT a standard text editor. Its minimalist interface enables you to focus on writing, unchaining your creativity and liberating your inspiration.
* Great features for effective writers *
Clean Writer Pro hides complex options or eliminates unneeded ones, so you can focus on the real work. No individual font change, custom alignment or advanced formatting. Extra options stay carefully hidden, leaving you alone with your words.
Minimalist interface. Full-screen writing. Multiple color themes and font options. Rich text editing with basic text formatting. Live Markdown preview. Paragraph fade mode. Live counters. and more
* The right tool for the right task*
Clean Writer Pro is not a swiss-knife, but a sharp single-purpose tool, small memory, quick to launch, easy to use, fast and effective. It is also powerful and flexible enough to help you in 90% of your writing needs.
Use it to unleash your imagination and beat writer's block. Once you’re done writing your novels, poems or blog posts, you might want other software to reformat, layout and prepare your work for publishing. That's ok. Clean Writer Pro’s purpose was fulfilled: to help unchain your creativity.
