Plain Text Editor
🇯🇵 JP LocalizedDescription
Simple distraction-free text editor without any rich text nonsense. The simplicity is a feature. ■ Highlights - No formatting. Just text. - Edit any plain text file like .txt, .csv, .md, etc - Optimal line spacing and length - Word count - Brain dump mode ■ Known issues The app does not have the ability to print because of iOS limitations. Brain dump mode does not work properly with some Asian languages. ■ Brain dump mode Lets you only write, but not delete or edit. This helps you focus on the actual writing instead of getting distracted with editing and nitpicking. ■ FAQ ‣ Can you add a typewriter mode (centered text)? I don't plan to add that. ‣ Does it handle huge files? No. The app is optimized for writing. Use a proper code editor for such files. ■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app.
What's New
- The app now requires iOS 26.

This is exactly what I was looking for!!
・ただテキストを入力するだけのMacアプリ、UIはほぼない ・設定次第でタイトルバーや下のバーを消すことができる ・さらに背景透過することも可能 サクッとアイデアやチャットの内容をメモしたい時にとても重宝するアプリ
