Mac Editor For Hindi Text

One thing I do on my Mac more than anything else is write. On average I write about 10,000 words a week, and some weeks, I double that. And that isn’t even counting email and other kinds of communication. That’s why a great text editor app is imperative to my every day workflow. Without it, I couldn’t do my job.

When considering text editor apps, the first thing I look for is cross-platform support. It is vital that I can start writing something on my Mac and then pick up where I left off on another Mac, or even an iPhone or iPad. While I don’t do much writing on my iPhone, I do like to jot down quick ideas, sentences, and thoughts whenever they pop into my head. As for iPad, I have been known to close down a coffee shop or two with nothing but my iPad Air 2 and a great keyboard case in hand.

And as you’d expect, I also look for things like Markdown support, flexible export options, and solid document organization.

That being said, these are currently my top picks for best Mac text editor apps:

PixelLab Online Text Editor for PC. PixelLab is the best and award-winning photo editor for smartphones. This app lets you add texts, Gifs, effects, stickers to images. There are a plethora of apps in the same niche but PixelLab Online Text Editor is the best among them. The 5 Best Free Text Editors A list of freeware text editors for Windows & Mac. Share Pin Email. A text editor lets you open a file as a text document. This text editor works with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Download Komodo Edit. Visual Studio Code. TextEdit offers powerful rich text formatting options. But sometimes it’s best to use TextEdit Plain Text Mode, which eliminates all formatting and, you guessed it, produces only plain text.

Ulysses

All your thoughts, organized to perfection

I fell in love with the layout and interface of Ulysses about a year ago. However, it wasn’t my full time text editor until recent updates added vast improvement across all platforms, including iPhone (more on that below).

Speaking specifically of the Mac version, there are several beautiful themes and preview options to choose from. But my favorite part of all versions of Ulysses is the organizational structure. Everything is organized into sheets and groups. For example, I have a group of sheets for App Factor and groups of sheets for other projects. Inside those I can have as many sub-groupings as I’d like.

For really long documents, Ulysses lets me jump to subheadings in just two clicks. I can export a million different ways, set goals, view statistics on different groups and sheets, and so much more. I’ve found tagging articles and setting word count goals greatly helps me stay on track when it comes to deadlines and making sure I’m writing a good blend of content for App Factor. Ulysses also has an option for direct publishing to Medium.

It’s worth mentioning that Ulysses is currently only available for Mac and iPad, BUT the iPhone version is in public beta and should be available in the App Store fairly soon (it’ll be a universal binary, so if you already own the iPad version, you’ll just receive an update).

I’ve been using the iPhone beta for a few months now and find myself constantly launching it in order to scribble down article ideas. For some reason, if I start a sheet for a topic idea, I’m more likely to actually act on it. After I do that, I stick the idea in Trello too so it doesn’t slip through the cracks.

Ulysses has been my main text editing app for several months now and I couldn’t be happier. It offers the flexibility and customization I need without being overly complicated in ways other text editors are.

Byword

Simple text editing, instant publishing

Before I started using Ulysses on a regular basis, Byword was my go-to text editor app on all my devices. One of the reasons I love Byword so much is because it’s powerful yet doesn’t overly complicate things with features and options you won’t use.

Simply launch Byword and start typing — and of course Markdown is supported. You can also switch between themes and change the editor font to virtually any font you’d like. To my knowledge Byword is one of the only text editor apps for Mac that uses system fonts, which means you don’t only get a handful of options, but every option you have installed on your Mac.

Byword allows you to sync via both iCloud and Dropbox, whichever you prefer. I have always used iCloud and never ran into any issues. And when you’re ready to publish, Byword can instantly publish your stuff to Medium, WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, and Evernote for only $4 (one time in-app purchase).

If you don’t need the organizational structure and metrics that text editors like Ulysses offer but need your text editor on all your devices, Byword is hands down your best option.

Rough Draft

Focus on words, not structure

Rough Draft is the only app I’m including in this article that doesn’t currently have an entire eco-system between OS X and iOS. My main reason for this is because the concept of rough draft intrigues me.

The text editor itself isn’t anything out of the ordinary. If anything, it still needs some work. That being said, the way Rough Draft handles error correction and drafts is one of a kind. The idea is to get your thoughts out and then go back later to fine tune and revise. This way you can see all your edits as you make them, and if you need to, you can easily revert to a previous version of a sentence or word.

Rough Draft also allows you to insert placeholders where you think you want to later include images, videos, quotes, or anything else. This all goes back to the idea of worrying about the words first, not the structure.

If you need excellent Markdown support, and other powerful features all-in-one, Rough Draft may not be for you. But if you want a text editor to help you stay focused on the words first, Rough Draft may be just what you need. I’ve been using it on articles I’m having a particularly hard time with and it’s doing a good job of helping me stay focused.

Rough Draft is completely free to try and a one-time purchase of $15 will unlock export, which strips all your edits out of your final draft.

Hog Bay Software FoldingText 1.0

Basic Text Editor For Mac

On the surface, Hog Bay Software’s $25 FoldingText (Mac App Store link) is a basic text editor. In fact, if you don’t dig too deep, you could easily be fooled into thinking that FoldingText is too simple to merit more than a passing glance. The reality is that FoldingText is an amalgam. A polyvalent text-editing powerhouse. Part text editor, part to-do-list maker, part outliner, part Pomodoro-method task manager, FoldingText is like and unlike every text editor you’ve used.

Each new document you create using FoldingText starts out the same way, not as a blank slate for you to begin typing text, but as as Welcome document explaining the basics of how FoldingText works. That may seem odd for something as basic as a text editor, but within FoldingText, basic text can undergo some amazing transformations, and understanding how to transform that text is essential to getting the most out of the app. This initial document is designed to help you start on the right foot.

FoldingText performs its text editing magic by using an application-specific form of Markdown. Markdown is a kind of shorthand that allows you to mark plain text with special formatting characters that translate to the appropriate tags in browser-readable HTML. Unlike many Markdown-text editors, FoldingText renders your formatted text within the FoldingText environment, so text surrounded by double asterisks (the Markdown syntax for bold) is actually displayed as bolded in the document while you’re editing. (It’s important to note that, while FoldingText can create some basic HTML, it is not designed to create full-featured web pages. You can export your documents in HTML format, but only basic lists and one HTML heading type are supported.)

While there are over a dozen different bits of Markdown shorthand you can use in FoldingText, the basics are this: Type # followed by a space and the text that follows those two characters will appear as a bolded heading. Type ## and that line become a sub-heading of the previous heading. Type - followed by a space and that line of text will appear as an item in an unordered list. Surround text with * on each side and that text will be italicized (** on each side bold the text, instead). Other similar keystrokes will create URL links, ordered lists, block and coded text, and much more.

The “folding” part of FoldingText refers to what happens after you’ve added headings. Many code editors, used by developers when developing apps, let you hide or display sections of code for easier editing. Similarly, in FoldingText you can hide or display sections of your text by clicking the # that appears in front of each header section. Click a # once to hide all text under that header, including sub-headings and their text; clicking that # character again expands that section. (A folded section displays a white-on-black elipses character.) Folding helps you focus on the section of text you’re currently working on without being distracted by any of the other text that’s part of your document.

You can also quickly go to any section by pressing Command+L (or by choosing View -> Go To) to see a list of all headers; choose one to jump to it.

Beyond folding and formatting, FoldingText offers some special features that push the program beyond basic text editing. First is a feature called Todo mode, which allows you to turn an unordered list of items into a series of checkboxes. To do this you create a normal heading and then add .todo to the end of the header text. For example, if you wanted to create a grocery list, you’d type the header followed by an unordered list of items:

# Grocery List.todo
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Salt
- Russets

Each item will appear, in Folding Text, with a small checkbox next to it. Clicking the checkbox marks the item as completed, formats the item’s text as strikethrough, and shows an @done tag at the end of the line.

The timer feature is similar to the checklist. Add .timer to the end of a heading followed by indented text that contains timing information and FoldingText will create a timed list. For example:

Cook Potatoes.timer
Set water to boil water 3 minutes
Add cubed potatoes
Boil cubed potatoes for 10 minutes
Drain potatoes and dry
Pan fry in olive oil for 15 minutes, turning often

As you enter these lines, FoldingText displays the current time next to the first item, along with the relative time of completion, based on each item’s duration, next to subsequent items. Click an item’s time label, and FoldingText kicks off that step’s timer with an audible cue when the timer is completed; FoldingText then steps through the rest of the items and, if present, their timers. The precise date and time you started the list is displayed beneath the list header.

This timer feature, combined with the app’s folded-text and list-creation capabilities, allow you to use FoldingText as a Pomodoro Technique timer to keep you focused and on-task as you work. It’s an amazing feature for what, on the surface, is nothing more than a basic text editor.

There are some things I’d like added to future versions of the program. First, the app would benefit from some basic user options. I mentioned earlier that each new document contains the same default text. Short of opening Terminal and typing a few commands, there is no simple way to turn this off—a standard preference setting would nice here. Second, when you print FoldingText documents, they do not look the way they do within the app; instead, they include unformatted text along with the Markdown syntax you’ve used to format and organize that text. The app needs an option for printing rendered text. Finally, FoldingText uses a non-standard .ft file extension that’s not recognized by many Mac text editors, nor by an iOS text editors, including Hog Bay’s own PlainText app. I’d rather the app use a standard Markdown file extension (such as .markdown or .md) so you could use your FoldingText documents on your iOS devices or in other Mac text editors.

FoldingText is a standout text-editing app that’s surprisingly versatile thanks to a number of unexpected features. It also shows exceptional maturity for an application that is a 1.0 release. While I love FoldingText now, I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
