DESCRIPTION
myTexts... No distraction. Just text. Pure creativity.

my Texts is 'Featured Download' at apple.com

If you need a white/bright background - give myTexts snow a try :-)

Less is more, as Mies van der Rohe would say. This is not only true in architecture; this is especially the case when it comes to writing. Thus, myTexts helps you to get more meaning out of your words with less distraction.

With myTexts you focus almost automatically on writing. You simply don't have to care about windows, buttons or formats. Your Mac turns into a truly typewriter again.

Now, focused on writing, myTexts also takes care about your documents, files, backups and of course how to regain them. All this is done in a self-explanatory and user-friendly way. All your writings are just on click away at the left hand side and completely searchable. You can add tags for your convenience, which can be added to your Spotlight search as well. Thus, you will never again loose a single text. myTexts saves your writing in the background and creates a backup at every start-up if you wish. Thus, you can go always back in time and undo the last changes.

myTexts can be customized to fit your personal needs. Whether it comes to fonts, size, space, color or line spacing, myTexts serves only your creativity. In times of glossy displays myTexts comes without a completely black background. Nothing would be more distracting than seeing your own face instead of your writing.

No man is an island - not even the best poet. Since we write to be widely read and understood, myTexts is made for exchanging files with the outside world. myTexts reads and writes the most important file formats like txt, rft, doc, docx, html, schreiben, odt and xml.

XK13  Moap dev, thanks for the update.

Saving of single files now works again.

Could you please add something for grouping entries?

That would be awesome.

APFELZ  Thanks for your feedback :-)

I am already working on a nice solution for grouping the entries without breaking everything else because as I started with myTexts I did not thought about such an option - so I can't promise to have the solution with the next update - but it will come…

RBUGAJEWSKI  Great, fast and honest support!

The first time I wrote a support request to MOApp I got an immediate response. The support is just overwhelming. I can write to the developer with every problem and I bet he will have a solution.

myTexts ist also a great software. I used WriteRoom for a very long time and I was satisfied. I didn’t even know I need something else, something better, something that is suited for my needs. Then the developer from MOApp released myTexts and I was overhelmed again.

Distraction free wrting with media-like organization capabilities. This is iTunes for texts. I don’t have to save my document every couple of seconds and live in a fear that everything will be lost if this stupid crap of Microsoft software will crash again. I don’t have to constantly check my mails and the Twitter stream. I have my texts, nothing more. This is such a great experience, you have to try it out yourself.

If you have questions regarding some functionality, or you think the software needs a great new feature: no problem, just write a short message to the developer and I’m pretty sure you’ll have a great, helpful and friendly answer in a very short time.

Hands up, definitely five stars!

PEKL  One of the best feature of myText to me is the lack of all the features that distracted me from writing.

Please Michael, don't features I don't need for writing. Keep myText as lean as possible.

XK13  Moap dev - don't worry!

Your program continues to evolve, and amaze. Your program is great for writing and my data is save and best of all - I can now sync it between my Macs.

Keep up that good work!

PHALERON  Michael,

I sent you an email concerning the loss of data by clicking on your username and sending a message. I can't remember the exact procedure, but I was left with an impression that my message was sent. If you need my help, get in touch with me. I'll see what I can do.

APFELZ  Help wanted and need!

The only two persons having trouble with the latest version I know have written this here. No one wrote to me. So I really need to know if I made mistake I have to find as fast as possible or whatever may could cause this…

So if anyone else has this problem:

1. You data is not lost!

myTexts makes automatically backups and stores every entry as single text files too by default. So whatever happens - your data is save.

2. Please use the integrated Feedback tool to get in touch with me to solve the problem and to figure out what went wrong - all other 'users' will be thankful for your help :-)

I really need to know if this a 'bug' or not :-)

Thanks, Michael.

SIMMAN  When an app deletes the data I can understand the poor rating. I am using this gem for a while now without any problems. But giving one star (because the prefs can be improved) and talking shi… about the dev (the first comment ever here) - well: words fail me!

APFELZ  1. Only a very view settings need the app to be restarted - it is no document based app!

All important setting for a text can be changed immediately.

2. Thanks for bashing my complete work (btw. the only comment you ever made, even without downloading it :-))

LARISSAC  This is the same garbage as all of the developer's 10,000 other text apps! The preferences only allow for a few typefaces otherwise you have to customize the font by typing in the EXACT name of the font you want. What's wrong with the standard OS "show fonts" ui!?

And then you have to restart the app after making even the slightest tweaks, what is this 1993?

Maybe quit making 10,000 junk apps and focus on one nice one, then it might be worth the money!
