“This is a super-clean writing space with a lot of configurability that stays out of sight when you don’t need it.”

App Store Review,
2020


# HIGHLIGHTS

· Gorgeous writing space
· Silky-smooth typing
· Deep personalization (Pro)
· Markdown or Plain Text
· Syncs with iCloud
· Previews in Marked 2
· Publishes drafts to Medium, WordPress, or Ghost
· Exports to PDF, HTML, RTF, DOCX, image, or clipboard
· Works seamlessly across your Mac, iPad, and iPhone


# PRO FEATURES

Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly, though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed, so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.

While trialing Pro Features, you might occasionally see a popup. Just press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.

Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your Macs that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to Macs. iPhones and iPads require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).

The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it, press the "Show one-time purchase" button in the Pro Features popup that appears in the View menu.
