I'm hoping to get some more people trying my WriteRoom 4 Preview.

Downloads: https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/writeroom/releases/

There's a two-week free trial, and WREARLYBIRD gets you 50% off if you decide to buy soonish. It's a preview, so there are probably still some bugs. Let me know what you find.

It's a distraction-free writing app (WriteRoom invented the phrase, so I can say it non-ironically).

It's also a Markdown editor, with quite a few notable features:

- High-fidelity DEC terminal theme: transport yourself to a different place and time.
- Also, other modern themes with high-resolution type.
- Extreme performance: Moby Dick × 1000 and beyond.
- Heading Overview Mode (Option-Command-O) is fun!
- Folding, syntax hiding, and quite a bit more.

Thoughts and feedback encouraged!

P.S. If you're wondering, Bike 2 is very much alive in preview form. I've been posting releases in my forums, and it's been very stable for a while now. I just haven't committed to an actual release yet. Soon! I hope.

Really pleased to see this re-animated: one of my first Mac apps from 20 years ago.
But no version for Intel Macs?

But no version for Intel Macs?

Sorry no. It would double binary size, build time, etc. Also, it's min OS version is 15.6. So the intersection of Intel Macs on 15.6 seems small.

But WriteRoom 3 should still work. And I expect this version to be around for another 20 years. Ready when you upgrade!

Also, if you just want to take a peek and see what it looks like I've added some demo movies to its page here: https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/writeroom/
