Pure Writer - Writing & Notes

Writing connects us with the past and lets us imagine the future.

Pure Writer is a very fast plain text editor, built so writing can go back to what it was meant to be: pure, safe, always ready, and a pleasure to do.

Your words stay yours. Pure Writer is a text editor for writing and organizing your own text. It offers no books or other reading content, and no community or publishing platform. What you write is never made public. Your documents are stored on your device and can be backed up to your own cloud drive.

PEACE OF MIND
The Pure Writer icon is the silhouette of a time machine. Even if you delete something by mistake, or your phone loses power without warning, your document is still saved in full, or waiting for you in History. For years, Pure Writer has strived never to lose a word.

SMOOTH AND FLUID
Slide the keyboard up and down with your finger, and watch the cursor breathe instead of simply blinking. An empty pair of quotes disappears with a single backspace, and pressing Enter at the end of a line of dialogue takes you past the closing quote. The design follows Material Design and stays simple.

CRAFTED DETAILS, INCLUDING:

Editing
• Blue Fill Box: type inside paired symbols, press Enter to jump past them
