User reviews

Extremely useful, especially after the update!

Works as it says on the box! I’d appreciate a slightly darker dark mode, larger text options, and maybe different fonts? But the developers have made an amazingly reliable little software. The sudden death mode has produced some amazing ideas already.

Password Protect Please!

I love this app. I love the simplicity of it and will therefore keep this review simple.

My one request is to add the ability to password protect my writing.

Trailblazing

I love using danger notes and the fact that it is 100% free is such a yes for me. I was typing this thinking the fire of délétion was behind me lol.

Fast Drafting Boot Camp

If you’re serious about your writing and trying to get into actual good habits, this is your app. The only thing I would add is a streak counter. No rewards or anything, personally I always think that should be dealers choice. But just super basic metrics so people can be honest about what they’re doing what their time. And I’m people.
