Make changes on iA Writer for Mac (syncing preserved).I’m stuck shifting among three options for longer-form iPad writing. The problem is, no app provides a clear solution. On top of that, I need to seamlessly move from my iPad to my Mac – or, on the rare occasion I have neither, to my iPhone. I also need some form of file management for periodic revisions or redrafts of mothballed topics. But what about blog posts and longer writing projects? I need the same simplicity and speed, but also more robust Markdown support (I use “Markdown” here interchangeably to mean the basic Markdown and MultiMarkdown syntaxes). 1 If I got stuck with my iPhone, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Drafts to whip up a list or idea to remember for later (micro-writing, as it were). Yet each have strengths and weaknesses that, to a large extent, cancel each other out.ĭrafts is perfect for taking meeting or phone call notes at work: with TextExpander support and a clean interface, I can jot down quick notes based on a Markdown template and e-mail them or ship them off to third-party apps.

But what about Markdown? In a few short moves I find myself torn among three apps that claim to do one thing: manage text files and facilitate Markdown blogging. A few months ago, I also got a copy of Drafts, the excellent iOS text “inbox.” And the recent release of Ulysses III brought a new app to my Mac – and led to the inevitable purchase of Daedalus Touch for iOS.Īll these apps handle basic text capably. I’ve owned iA Writer, perhaps the quintessential “minimalist” writing app, for a couple of years now. But thanks to a Logitech Ultrathin keyboard, I don’t feel as though I’m missing out on too much with the iPad. This is partly due to the iPad’s battery life and partly due to time constraints: I rarely have the time to use my MacBook Air for extended periods. Lately, my iPad has been my go-to BYOD for work and for personal writing.
