WriteRoom 2.1 is available

by Dave Caolo Feb 20th 2007 at 5:30PM

WriteRoom, the application for "distraction-free writing," reached version 2.1 today. Changes include:
  • Generate word counts for any part of a document.
  • "Typewriter scrolling" setting is more flexible.
  • Many squashed bugs
Some call it gimmicky, but I've been using it since version 1.0 and enjoy it. WriteRoom requires Mac OS 10.4, and a single license will cost you $24.95US (though you can use it for free).

I'm with Scrivener for now and quite impressed... how are they different?

If WR 2 has too much stuff for you, WR 1 is still free and much more basic. You don't have to even save files anywhere.

The best use for WR 2 is editing text from other apps via system-wide hotkey.

For a writing app that is supposed to have minimal distrations, it sure does get a lot of them added on.

Hmm... Think does do a good job, but it's not the same - Have you tried WriteRoom; It's like using a GUI-less terminal, I love it and couldn't get any work done without it.

Big deal. Think (freeverse.com/think) does that for free, but with any application.
