Typewright is a typewriter you can actually write on. Every key you press strikes a page. The carriage tracks across the paper, the bell rings when the line runs out, and the platen rolls the sheet up as you go. Backspace works the way it did on a real machine — you can take a character back, but you cannot go rearrange a paragraph you wrote an hour ago. That constraint is the point. It is why the words keep coming. FOUR MACHINES Classic Manual is free and always will be: black steel, a fan of typebars, cream keys. The Decades Collection adds three more, each with its own mechanism, its own sound, and its own feel — Riviera '65, a two-tone sixties manual with round glass keycaps; Golfball '72, an electric with a chrome type ball that hops and twists across a fixed carriage; and Wordline '84, a daisy-wheel electronic with an amber LCD that mirrors the line you are typing. Every machine ships in four factory colorways. PAPER AND RIBBON Nine paper stocks, from clean bond to lined, graph, aged parchment, and a red-and-blue-bordered airmail, drawn rather than photographed so they stay crisp at any size. A ribbon lever switches ink between black, blue and red, with an underline latch — exactly like the real thing, and your ribbon choices are saved with the text. A REAL PAGE Pages are A4 or Letter and behave like paper: the sheet fills, turns, and holds a fixed number of lines. Reading mode lays the whole document out as printed pages you can select, copy and search. EXPORT THAT LOOKS TYPED PDF export embeds the real typewriter fonts, draws the paper behind the text, and can add the slight rotation, doubled ink and softened opacity of a page that went through an actual machine. Plain text, print and style-preserving copy are there too, plus a full-library backup file you can re-import later. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS Documents live on your device. Turn on iCloud sync and they follow you to your other Apple devices through your own private iCloud — there is no account to make, no server of ours, no analytics, and nothing to collect. Typewright works entirely offline. Four typewriter fonts. Synthesized mechanical sound and haptics. Hardware keyboard support on iPad. No subscription — the Decades Collection is a single lifetime purchase, restorable any time.
