THE FIRST iPAD DISTRACTION-FREE TEXT EDITOR
---
In 2010 Clean Writer was the first distraction-free plain text editor for iPad. Now its reborn, redesigned and improved with a new UI, gesture-driven workflow, options hidden from sight, color themes and more.


NOTES:
---
The app only handles plain text files (.txt, .md, .html, etc) and will NOT open .doc, .rtf or .pdf. It conveniently hides such files when browsing Dropbox folders, to prevent mistakes. (If you need access to non plain text documents, you first need to export them as plain text from Word, Pages, Text Edit or other document processing software).
