Ich vermisse meinen Texteditor. Also: Ich möchte einen Text schreiben, dann möchte ich Byword mit einem x schließen, dann möchte ich gefragt werden, wo ich dann abspeichern möchte und dann sage ich wo. Dann bin ich glücklich. ;)

This Is one of my oldest writing apps yet still used regularly on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It's so simple vet very effective for writing any kind of markdown or text document, short or long form. The files are saved as simple text files in the file system so backups are easy and safe. Solid, reliable, highly recommended!

No other comment, really. It works brilliantly. I hope the devs are still supporting it.

La sincronizzazione con Dropbox non funziona, per me quindi l’app perde l’utilità che aveva

This was by default Markdown for many years in both Mac and iOS. It is functional and very efficient. But for some reason frequency of updates slowed. The last update was 4 years ago. Markdown is multifaceted and newer apps has incorporated many of those additions to original markdown syntax, better formatted export options, and integration with other apps. I have started using other apps. This one is still very functional for basic markdown and cheaper than the competition. No subscription either.

As of may 2024 byword will not sync with Dropbox anymore. Totally love this app but it hasn’t been updated in at least 4 years and my be on its last legs. I get Dropbox token errors nearly everyday.

Hasn’t been maintained for years. Flaky sync. Narrow font selection. Export to email goes to mail.app (ignores your “default”). Else, fast, stable, minimal writer’s app. (Fair for notes, too.)

Not updated often: no need. Quick, stable. Word&character count. Markdown master (shortcutcut keyboard). Syncs soon. Enough fonts. One of few apps that exports to PDF or HTML. (Export text to email forces mail.app, not selected default mail app.) ——————————————————————————————————— Apple needs to value and respect skilled App Store developers. App Store software is the lifeblood of the Apple ecosystem. Pass it on.
