There will be times when someone else on the Great InterWebNets decides to write the same kind of post you had been planning. This is one of those times. After the release of Grandview I thought it would be a grand time to put together a few of the full-screen writing Mac apps I knew of and throw them into a quick roundup post, but Mac.AppStorm beat me to the punch. For what it’s worth, I was going to pick the following apps for the following reasons:
Byword ($4.99)
- auto-save
- full screen and windowed mode
- focus mode
- handles plain and rich text
- great use of pop-up controls for rich text
OmmWriter Dana II ($4.99, review)
- cute (and awesome) background sound effects
- unnecessary (but still awesome) keyboard sound effects
- full screen only
- various gorgeous background themesalways full-screen, but can resize margins
- shuts off Growl alerts while active
WriteRoom ($24.99)
- the Big Daddy of full-screen writing apps, as far as I know
- auto-save
- full screen and windowed mode
- handles plain and rich text
Grandview ($4.99, review)
- full screen only
- shows one word at a time
- copies text to clipboard upon exit
Mac.AppStorm covered all four of those apps and included two others that I’ve never heard of, Writer and CleanWriter, so be sure to check out their post out for a more thorough run-down of all six full-screen writing apps for OS X.
