Writing Software for Writers

I’d also add the very nice “Texts” (currently at 50% discount), which is a rich-text editor that actually produces Markdown files. There are desktop clients for Mac and Windows, as well as an iOS client. Unusually, you compose text in a rich-text window - it doesn’t bother you with all the markup code (unless you want to see it, of course).

I’ve started using it to interact with the many Markdown editors and files I keep on my iPad (my current favourite for fast Markdown: 1Writer, by the developer of the lovely minimalist to-do manager 2 Days).

While it’s not specifically optimised for “writers”, it fits very well into a writing workflow, as does Editorial for iOS.
