Can not remove words by mistake

Stupid app that cannot backspace to remove words!

Can’t delete pages or erase

Could you please make a free typing game?

Why Can’t I save the document?

Look cool for typing but I can’t find anyway to save or export the thing I’ve type and nothing appears to be saving.

Very well executed. You must focus!

Really enjoy this app. It’s so basic, that’s what makes it great. I love that deleting text isn’t very easy and that you have to hit return at the end of each line to avoid typing off the page. This forces you to actively pay attention and remain focused. It’s a very peaceful experience.

If there was a copy/paste and/or export to text option, this would be my go-to writing app. Unfortunately, as much as I love typing with it, I can’t really see using it much. Knowing I cannot get my text exported elsewhere for future drafts is a huge limitation for me (and anyone else who values backing up or re-writing their drafts).

Would love to see these added but in the meantime, it’s lovely!

Wunderbare App. Auf das Wesentlichste beschränkt, wenn es ums Schreiben geht. Man damit sehr gut schreiben. Mehr wollte ich auch nicht.

FAQ

What is Write Only?

Write Only is a writing application designed to provide a distraction-free experience, similar to using a typewriter. It helps users focus on getting their ideas down without the complexities of editing. All typed content is saved permanently as a PDF, ensuring that the layout, font, and colors remain consistent across all viewing instances.

How does Write Only help with writing?

The app separates the act of writing from editing, encouraging users to concentrate solely on generating content. It features a fixed cursor positioned above the keyboard, which can reduce typing errors by keeping the text and fingers close. An extended keybar also provides easier access to commonly used punctuation marks.

Is Write Only free to use?

The application is free to download and use, offering a core writing experience. However, it does include in-app purchases, which may unlock additional features or customization options for users who wish to enhance their writing environment further.

What devices is Write Only compatible with?

Write Only is available for use on iPads and iPhones. The app is designed to leverage the touch interface of these devices to provide a seamless writing and editing experience.

What are the main use cases for Write Only?

This app is ideal for writing the initial drafts of any work, particularly for personal use like diaries or journals. The permanence of the text and any errors made can serve as a nostalgic reminder of the writing process when revisited later.
