Chapters vs SoloWrite

Chapters is your safe space to express yourself freely. No account is required, there are no in-app purchases, and your entries stay private – we never analyze or track what you write. Whether you're writing a personal journal or taking notes in class, you can access all your past notes at any time, like turning pages in your notebook. Moreover, all your entries are synced to iCloud, allowing you to access them from any iOS device.

SoloWrite is the digital version of a blank page. It is not a project manager and not a social network - it is the calm space where your ideas land before the noise makes them disappear. Open the app. Write. That's it. JUST WRITE - A start screen with two choices: New document, or continue exactly where you left off - Your recent notes one tap away - rename or delete them with a swipe - The editor fills the whole screen; every gram of cognitive friction has been removed - A live status bar with word, character and line counts and the autosave time 12 EDITING MODES - Write Markdown, or switch the editor to Swift, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, YAML, XML, plain text or todo lists - Real syntax highlighting for each language, rendered live as you type LIVE MARKDOWN - Headings, bold, italics, quotes, lists, links, highlights and code blocks are styled as you type - while your text stays 100% plain Markdown - Line numbers, GitHub style - double-tap a number to select the whole line - A tiny code toolbar inserts Markdown snippets so you never have to remember the syntax MAKE IT YOURS - 12 hand-tuned themes: the dark developer theme Pushword, Paper, Sepia, Solarized, GitHub, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Rose Pine, pure-black Night and more - The theme dresses the whole app, not just the editor - Monospaced fonts and adjustable sizes - English and Spanish, switchable in-app YOUR WORDS BELONG TO YOU - Standard .md files stored in YOUR iCloud Drive - browse them any time in the Files app - No proprietary database. Works natively with Obsidian, iA Writer and any text editor - Automatic sync: your draft is preserved as you type, and the Save button is one tap away - Start on iPhone, continue on the Mac companion app exactly where you left off PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account.
