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.

FAQ

What does Danger Notes do?

Danger Notes is a writing application designed to help users overcome writer's block. It operates on a simple principle: if you stop typing, all your unsaved work will be permanently deleted. This encourages continuous writing to ensure progress is saved.

How does this app help with writer's block?

The app's core mechanic of deleting unsaved work if typing ceases creates pressure to keep writing. This pressure can help users maintain a flow of words and ideas, preventing them from getting stuck staring at a blank page.

What kind of writing can I do with Danger Notes?

The app is versatile and can be used for various writing tasks. Whether you're working on a term paper, an essay, a book, a speech, song lyrics, or simply free writing, Danger Notes can assist you in maintaining momentum.

Is Danger Notes free to use?

The application is free to download and use, but it does include in-app purchases and advertisements. These may offer additional features or an ad-free experience.

What happens if I accidentally close the app or my device turns off?

The description states that if you stop typing, your work will disappear. It is implied that any interruption to typing, including closing the app or device shutdown without saving, will result in data loss for unsaved content.
