## Description

**Just Write** is a minimal writing app for creating and editing TXT and RTF files across Apple devices. Use RTF for stories and rich text documents with formatting tools such as font sizing, colors, bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, alignment, undo, and redo.

For notes, outlines, to-do lists, Markdown, and plain-text writing, Just Write includes Markdown previews, multiple fonts, Light, Dark, and Sepia themes, and support for TXT, MD, Markdown, Fountain, and related extensions. Optional iCloud sync keeps files available across devices, while an in-app purchase removes ads.

## Review summary

Just Write is praised for its clean, distraction-free design, offline drafting, strong organization (books/chapters) and useful word-count tools. However, many reviews highlight serious reliability issues: frequent data loss and missing files, plus unreliable iCloud syncing and no clear sign-in across devices. Users also want more formatting options and easier printing/export, and some are unsure about pricing. Overall, ease of use and organization are clear strengths, but data-loss and syncing problems dominate user sentiment.

### Pros

- Distraction-free, simple writing interface that keeps focus on content
- Offline-friendly drafting for working without an internet connection
- Strong organization features (per-book folders and separate documents/chapters)
- No ads and appears to offer unlimited writing without obvious caps
- Built-in word count and basic editing tools to track progress

### Cons

- Frequent data loss: documents getting deleted, missing, or overwritten across devices
- Unreliable cloud syncing (iCloud) and lack of cross-device sign-in leading to missing files or overwritten work
- Limited formatting/printing options (TXT text size control, and no easy print/export) and inability to disable the spelling guide
- Unclear pricing model / potential pay-to-use aspects that frustrate users
