Write is a quiet place for ideas, notes, and first drafts. It keeps the thought you are editing at the center of the screen while earlier context gently fades, helping you stay with the sentence in front of you. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT • Write one thought at a time in a calm, centered editor. • Tap any earlier thought to return and revise it. • Move between thoughts with the keyboard on iPhone or your Mac. FIND EVERY NOTE • Notes are saved automatically on the device you are using. • Browse recent notes in a clear library. • Search by title or any phrase. • Delete notes with a familiar, confirmed action. EXPORT YOUR WORDS • Export a clean Markdown file or multipage PDF. • Your words and their order stay intact. • Export files are created entirely on your device. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC • Native layouts for a focused phone flow and an efficient Mac workspace. • System, Light, and Dark appearances. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, and Reduced Motion support. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Write has no account, advertising, analytics, or third-party server. Version 1.0 stores notes locally on each device and does not sync them between devices.
