As a writer and an active blogger I understand the importance of efficiency, speed, and productivity. There are deadlines to meet, an interesting audience, and clientele to satisfy, so making sure I am productive and efficient at what I do is very important. Thankfully, I have some tools that serve me right in making sure I am getting the job done. I am sharing these resources to make sure other writers can also be informed about such apps that could also really help them improve their productivity. Just click on these headlines below to get the app for yourself and see what I mean.
Write
Write is relatively new, as their Cloud version kicks off mid-summer of 2015. However, there is already a free version of the app which can be downloaded here. What makes Write really cool is that it has a mixture of rich-text functionality of Microsoft Word, the productivity tools of hacker-oriented Sublime, a Zen-like distraction-free experience, and the note-taking capabilities available on Evernote. It is like a combination of several tools all in one. With Write you can create anything from article length pieces to short story sized pieces. You can even do your research and make grocery shopping lists with this multi-use app.
I really can’t wait for the Cloud version which promises a beautiful dark UI theme and distinctive text styles to match. This would give your documents a classy bookish or modern web-ish look.
WriteChain
What makes WriteChain really cool is that it is simple to use and user friendly. Since WriteChain is free, it doesn’t come with anything fancy like hidden editors or quotes. It is simply a tool that helps writers track their word count on the go. If you are a writer committed to setting daily goals and targets then you’ll need an app that will make you aware and accountable of accomplishing this. That’s why WriteChain will be very helpful. It takes every writing session by counting consecutive daily sessions to measure your “writing chain.” If at any time you skip a session, WriteChain informs you about it.
Manuscript
While there are many apps that relates to writing and improving your ability, Manuscript helps more intense writers such as book writers to get more out of their work. It offers word count and page count information and supplies you with a Dropbox support. Manuscript is not selective about your document type or size, you can upload any document to it for editing.
iThoughts
Currently regarded as one of the best mind-mapping tool on iOS, iThought is beautiful and easy to use. iThought helps you visually organize your thoughts, information, and ideas. You can use this tool across several devices from your iPhone to your iPad and be more productive. While working on meeting outlines, project planning, and taking reading notes, iThought can offer you sophisticated and usable tools for mind mapping.
Daedalus Touch
Daedalus Touch was designed to make editing and file organization more fun. It is able to import files or folders from Dropbox, WebDAV, and Box.com. It can even open zipped text files. You could also export documents as single or multiple sheets, or entire stacks of sheets. The export options available include emailing as TXT, PDF, RTF, zip archive, creating an ePub ebook file, printing, converting Markdown styles, copying to the iOS clipboard, or opening documents in other iOS apps.
iaWriter
If you frequently write online, you’ll have to deal with formatting. This can be time consuming. However with iaWriter you can use a markup language to format the posts for html. iaWriter helps you to focus on the more important task of writing rather than on other unpleasant distractions. It also syncs with Dropbox and iCloud if you prefer to write on other platforms.
Certainly this list is not exhaustive since there are other killer apps out there to get you going and improve your efficiency. Still, it cannot be over-emphasized how important it is to get the right tool to help double on your productivity.
