About Typist

I've been on a long journey in search of the perfect writing app: something simple enough to quickly jot down notes, but equipped with the features I appreciate as a developer, such as markdown, code block syntax highlighting, and a myriad of keyboard shortcuts. Many apps came close, but each left me wanting. After years of searching, I decided to roll up my sleeves and build something myself.

To developers that write: I'd love your help making Typist the best writing app for engineers. Feedback and feature requests are very welcome.

Pricing

All of Typist’s developer-friendly features are free to use on a single device.
