Werdsmith is my current writing app of choice – I’m having a try at creative writing, and Werdsmith is great for storing lots of shorter pieces of writing, and it also gives you an online portfolio of anything you choose to publish ( you can see mine here) and a link you can use to share individual pieces of work (whether published or not.) In Werdsmith you create “ideas” and “projects”. If you’re looking for something simple and stylish that lets you get on with writing, Daedalus is well worth a look. There’s also a very handy search feature that lets you use Google and Wikipedia from within the app … great for quick research. Daedalus syncs with Dropbox and Box.com and you can also email documents or export them in a number of formats. You can also have an unlimited number of stacks! The app is minimalist, presenting you with a blank screen so you can focus on your writing, though there are a few goodies tucked away, such as a word count, a search option and some font style and colour options. This means you can have a separate stack for each project, with an unlimited amount of pages in each stack. Basically you set up “stacks” of paper and then just type your way through them. Daedalusĭaedalus is one of the first iPad apps for writers that I invested in, and in fact it’s the one that I wrote most of my book on! If you’re looking for distraction-free typing then this is the app for you. In the past I used to lug my laptop everywhere I went but now I get by with just my iPad Air and (sometimes) a bluetooth keyboard – plus a few carefully chosen iPad apps for writers. I’ve always found I write better when I’m away from the computer, whether that’s sitting on the sofa, relaxing in the garden or while taking a retreat away from home.
