2024年2月22日追記:Googleドライブでの動作確認が取れておりません。データの読み込み、保存でファイルが消える不具合が発生しています。 原稿を気持ちよく書くことに特化したstone。テキストエディタとして持っている機能はとても少ないです。 しかも、対応フォーマットもプレーンテキスト(.txt)のみ。 文字に強弱をつけたり、画像を置いたりはできません。 最初は不便に感じるかもしれませんが、文章を書くことに集中できるはずです。 書体: 明朝体とゴシック体の切り替えが可能です。明朝体は「游明朝」と「Times New Roman」を、ゴシック体では「游ゴシック」と「Helvetica Neue」を組み合わせて使用しています。 縦書きと横書き: stoneでは日本語を美しくみせるため、縦書きにも対応しています。括弧類や句読点の扱いなど、日本語ならではのルールへも配慮しています。 文字の大きさ・行間・一行の文字数: 俳句のように短い文章から長いレポートまで様々な文章を書きやすくするために、文字の大きさ、行間を調整できます。 また、一行の文字数を大まかに設定したり、全体・選択範囲の文字数を確認する機能があるので、雑誌のようなフォーマットが決まった媒体の原稿を書く際もstoneを使うことができます。 設定の保存・読み出し: 新たな設定を追加したり、保存された設定を使用することができます。また、stoneの使い方をイメージしやすいように、いつくかのプリセットを用意してあります。 ファイル名、ページ番号、日付の印刷: stoneからの印刷やPDF保存時に、ファイル名、ノンブル(ページ番号)、日付の有無を選択することができます。それぞれの文字は本文の書体(明朝、ゴシック)に合わせて出力されます。 行番号の印刷: stoneのアプリケーション上で表示されている行番号を印刷することができます。複数ページにわたって印刷された文章などを、画面と見比べる際に便利な機能です。 ダークモード: ダークモード対応のOSをお使いの方に、外観モードの切り替えからライトモード・ダークモードの切り替えを用意しています。 バックアップ機能: 既存ファイルの自動保存と、未保存ファイルのバックアップ機能があります。未保存ファイルがある状態で強制終了された場合、stone再起動時には作業中のファイルが復元されます。(バックアップ機能はmacOSに用意されている機能を利用していますが、稀に正しく動作しない場合があります。今後、より高い精度で復元されるよう検証してまいります。)

Your events, to-dos and notes for a single day, together on one page. Each page shows a calendar, then that day's events, then your note, in that order. You can see your schedule while you write. Events and reminders come from the Calendar and Reminders apps already on your device, so you never enter anything twice. Along with text, photos go on the same page. To-dos you didn't finish can be moved to tomorrow's page together. Free to use, with an optional Pro subscription. ■ One day, one page Drag the divider to give more room to your events or to your notes, depending on the day. Type a checkbox into the note and it becomes today's to-do. Search runs across events, reminders and notes at once, so old pages stay findable. Swipe left or right for yesterday and tomorrow. ■ Keeps the calendar you already use Your iCloud, Google and Exchange accounts appear the moment you open the app — nothing to import, nothing to abandon. Calendars can be created, reordered and shared from inside the app, and other calendar apps keep working alongside it. ■ Write whatever the day needs Add photos straight to the page. Checkboxes, lists, five highlight colours and formatting such as bold, underline and strikethrough are all there. Use the page as a journal, as meeting notes, as a health log, as lecture notes — the format is yours to decide. ■ Nothing falls off the page Overdue reminders and unfinished to-dos left on earlier pages are gathered into a single list. Move them to today or tomorrow in one step. The number left can be shown as a badge on the app icon. ■ Two columns, spreads and widgets On a larger screen, work in two columns with the calendar on one side and the note on the other, or open a two-day spread. Everything stays in sync across your devices. Eight widgets show today's events, note, to-dos or month, and to-dos can be ticked off without opening the app. ■ Print it, if you want to keep it Export any range of days as PDF or Markdown. PDF pages are laid out for paper in A4, A5, B5 or US Letter, so they can be printed and filed in a binder. ■ Set up the way you keep a calendar Choose a holiday calendar, the first day of the week, separate colours for Saturday and Sunday, and the hours your day begins and ends. Page colour and text size are adjustable, and days holding an event from a particular calendar can be given a page colour of their own. FirstSeed Planner Pro (subscription) - Sync across all your devices - Automatic iCloud backup - Weather on the page - Quick actions from the app icon - Badge on the app icon Everything else is free.
