Simple beauty

Have used this for years, glad it’s still being updated!

Edit is just right

This simple little app is a great replacement for Drafts. It's a scratch pad that holds ideas that I can easily share. And it doesn't cost a small fortune to use.

Thank you!

Do one thing! Then the next

This super clean writing space lets you create and then send. So glad it’s alive and V2 is on the way!

My favourite app

Beautiful in its simplicity. I have my iPhone’s action button mapped to open this app, that’s how important it is to me.
