Apps We Use: Byword

As you may know we’re huge Apple fanboys. It’s not just the hardware but also Apple’s OS and its enormous offer of beautiful designed apps that run on their machines. As business owners, we’re always on the look out for the best apps out there. And, as designers, we’re always looking for the most gorgeous apps out there as well.

We’ll start these series with Byword, the app we used for writing the initial versions of our blog. Byword is a writing app that’s intended to keep you focussed on writing, nothing more nothing less.
 

Focus on your copy
Byword has a very minimalist UI that forces you to focus on your copy. Basically there are just a couple of really simplistic UI elements so there’s not much room for any distractions. The app let’s you use Plain Text, Rich Text and Markdown.  

You should also check out http://bywordapp.com. The guys at Metaclassy, who build the app, did a nice job mimicking Byword’s look on the website. Byword is available in the Mac App Store for $3.99. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/byword/id420212497?mt=12
