A simple text editor required for macOS

Let’s say you need to write something down quickly, and you decide to use TextEdit because it’s the easiest writing tool you have on macOS. You need to create a document first and save it, which already slows you down, if you need to copy and paste something you typed elsewhere, it now comes with its own formatting unless you remember to delete it or convert the document as plain text text.

With this application, as soon as you start it it generates a document that you can start typing right away. Everything is just plain text, and the UI is pleasing to the eye without distractions while also looking great against vibrant backgrounds.

Some cool features that don’t overcomplicate the app

You get a real-time word, character, and line counter, something TextEdit somehow still doesn’t have, text size customization, an option to hide the title bar, the vibrant background switching I mentioned earlier, and right-to-right writing Capabilities – the rest.

The app can also optimize line lengths and use monospaced fonts, both of which help with readability. If you need to keep certain notes visible at all times, you can set the plain text editor to stay on top of all other applications.
