![]() ![]() You can choose not to search through memos it also supports search and replace. And it highlights search hits in documents (although not in memos, presumably because the latter tend to be very short). It also supports character counts (although not word counts and it doesn’t support targets yet, but personally I rarely use them). In fact, my only criticism is that it doesn’t support automatic substitution, e.g. it doesn’t turn computer-generated apostrophes/quotation marks into their elegant “curly” equivalent, which is a bit of a let-down for a writing app. However, WonderPen does appear to be in active development, and when I dropped the suggestion to the developer, he responded immediately (pointing out that he’d overlooked this aspect because he’s Chinese, but would check it out a.s.a.p.). There’s an impressive list of export options (Word, HTML, PDF and even PNG!) it also imports text files. There is support for images in Preview mode (the editor uses Markdown), but images aren’t automatically imported into the WonderPen library that forms the basis for the documents (you can create multiple libraries). Of course there’s nothing preventing you from putting images in the library yourself. Support for tags would be nice, but the excellent search function means one could use those in any case without necessarily formalising them. ![]() Sorry, I have been inaccurate in my description - WonderPen *does* import images into its own library. The PDF export is especially impressive – detailed, crisp, precise, unlike some competitors. The more I discover about it, the more I like it! How strange - I went to the site, had to click ‘English’, clicked to the Mac App Store link (not USA) which then transferred me to my MAS. To my surprise I appear to have already bought it (but didn’t have it installed), although I have no recollection of having done so, and cannot find a record for purchase. Many thanks for sharing this interesting find! The app has apparently been around since 2016. >apostrophes/quotation marks into their elegant “curly” Unusually, it’sĪnd Linux apparently, which makes it even more interesting!īTW, check out the ‘elegance’ of the smart / curly quote marks above and below ) >Workflowy/DynaList-style folding outliner). >equivalent, which is a bit of a let-down for a writing app.Īfter playing with the app I deleted it (again). It seems okay, like Ulysses without cross-platform support or sync. No spellcheck or support for macOS’s built-in spellcheck. No choice of font (although I thought I saw screenshots using a Courier-like mono font). (Maybe that’s a limitation of Electron apps?) (That was probably what most made me originally delete it.) It’s $40 cheaper than Scrivener, but much less full-featured. It’s cheaper than Ulysses, but with Ulysses part of the excellent service suite I’d still choose Ulysses. ![]()
