About this app

Writing connects us with the past and lets us imagine the future. However, have you ever experienced some writing software: slow to start, causing inspiration to slip away? Frequently errors lead to wasted words? Lack of many necessary features and aids for writing feels inconvenient?

Pure Writer can solve all these problems. It's a super-fast plain text editor, and we hope that writing can return to its original form: pure, secure, anytime, without losing content, and with a good writing experience.

Peace of Mind

The icon of Pure Writer is a projection of a time machine, implying that words can take us through time and space, and also corresponds to the "history record" and "automatic backup" features specially provided by Pure Writer. With these protections, even if you accidentally delete the text, or your phone suddenly loses power and shuts down, your document can still be completely saved or found in the history record. Over the years, Pure Writer has provided a reassuring, secure writing experience, achieving the rare feat of no loss, and has been widely praised.

Smooth and Fluid

In addition to achieving the most important security guarantee, the UI interface and various writing aids of Pure Writer can also make users feel that this application is really pleasing to the eye and smooth. Pure Writer has adapted the soft keyboard interface of Android 11, allowing your fingers to smoothly control the rise and fall of the soft keyboard. At the same time, it also provides a breathing cursor, the cursor is no longer just flashing, but like human breathing, gradually fading in and out. Many such details, Pure Writer has polished to the extreme, while it has many writing aids, such as "automatically completing paired symbols", deleting paired symbols when pressing delete, pressing the enter key to jump out of the quotation range when completing dialogue content... Many such aids will feel timely and natural, when you compare with other editor applications, you will find Pure Writer does it better, smoother, and more meticulous.

Simplicity in Complexity

Many basic features that an editor should have, Pure Writer has not missed, such as quick input bar, multi-device cloud sync, paragraph indentation, paragraph spacing, generating beautiful long images, undo, word count, dual editor side by side, one-click format adjustment, find and replace, Markdown, computer version... and some very creative features, such as: using the TTS voice engine to read out the text you input in real time, helping you check in a different sensory way whether the input text is correct. For example, it has achieved "unlimited word count", as long as your phone's performance allows, there is no word limit. Even so, Pure Writer still maintains a minimalist design style, follows Material Design, and is both useful and beautiful.

You can reach the inspiration page at super fast speed, and you can interrupt and continue writing anytime, anywhere. Pure Writer has done all this for you. A reassuring and smooth writing experience, this is Pure Writer, please enjoy writing!

I've had this app for over a year and always loved it. I use it daily and pay monthly for pro. But I've recently started having a problem. The app data has always remained under 400mb. But yesterday it suddenly went to 1gb. It continues to grow a couple hundred mbs every time I do even a little bit of writing. I've cleared the history records, but it barely takes it down any room at all. At this rate, it's unsustainable for my phone to have that much room. Can you please help me with this?

I've been using Purewriter since 2022 and love it, I even bought the pro version. Managing notebooks and chapters is fantastic, you can put the chapters in collapsible folders. Cloud sync and local save have always worked for me. The one thing holding the app back is that it doesn't support italics and bold formatting, so I have to finalize formatting in a different word processor. I also wish there was a way to check previous years' statistics with the Year in Review feature.

For the most part, this app is great. I love the options it has for organization, and it's what I primarily use for the writing of my stories. However, lately I've been noticing a bug that has been particularly annoying and only makes me feel like putting the app down: The cursor will move unprompted to a different line as I edit a text, and completely mess up what I'm doing. Sometimes the Undo button work, either, leaving me to have to edit it back manually. Please fix this issue soon.
