Writing & Notes
Glyph
v0.9.3, released this weekAbout
Glyph is a notes app for people who want Markdown without the source code in their face. Writing and reading are the same view, notes stay as plain files you can move anywhere, and the interface is built around getting a thought down rather than organizing it first. There is a trial before you buy.
