My Typewriter combines the look and feel of working on a vintage typewriter with the convenience of a modern day word processor. With My Typewriter you have a typewriter to-go right in the palm of your hand. From the Underwood-inspired keystrokes and bell to the randomized ink patterns, this app was designed with the authentic experience of the classic writing machine in mind. Anything you create on My Typewriter can be saved, printed, exported, and uploaded to any platform you would like. Furthermore, the page size of My Typewriter has been optimized for social media posting to give your work the highest aesthetic quality on what’s becoming the chosen platform for the modern day poet. Some advantages My Typewriter has over other typewriter apps are the ability to delete mistakes, a longer page to be better-suited for long-form works, a font randomizer, a selection of vintage fonts to choose from, and the ability to move the cursor around manually in order to play with poetic form or to function like a traditional word-processor. We hope the next wave of Kerouacs, Plaths, and Hemingways use My Typewriter to create their masterworks just as we hope anyone with the inkling to write finds true joy from this virtual typewriter. Writers write, so get to it! Developed by Winnona Partners, LLC https://winnonapartners.com

About

Dozen Clock

Features
Read full description

Dozen Clock shows the time in a different way than other clocks and watches. In digital and analog format, too. It enables the user to have a tricky but still precise display of time enabling perhaps new ideas to root and grow. Released currently exclusively for Apple products, the application is able to display the date also in the format according to the Japanese calendar. INSTRUCTIONS: The biggest rectangle in the middle shows the minutes ( numbers outside the circle ). The small rectangle in the middle shows the hour ( darker numbers inside the circle ). The small red rectangle in the middle shows the seconds ( no numbers since it functions like in normal clocks ). "Think different." - Steve Jobs
