Clean Writer Pro for Mac

Evolved from the popular minimalist editor Clean Writer, the Pro version brings extra stability, over twice the speed and performance, and great features combining minimalism, efficiency, flexibility and user-customizable settings.

Created for writers and all those needing a simple powerful tool that doesn't overwhelm with countless settings, Clean Writer Pro makes most decisions for you. No individual font change, custom alignment or advanced formatting. Extra options carefully hidden to leave you alone with your words.

Small, fast and effective, powerful and flexible enough to be the answer for 90% of your writing needs. Use it to write your novels, poems or blog posts. Once you're done, you might want other software to reformat, layout and prepare your work for printing. That's ok. Clean Writer Pro's purpose was fulfilled: to help unchain your creativity.
