@MichaelQ ,

Still my go-to markdown editor 10 Years!

Writing this review I came to realise I have been using this for 10 years now. 50 cents a year - I need to somehow get the developer a thank you.

It's gret because it works, he got most of it right the first time years ago and hasn't fussed over it making it more complicated or loading unnessary features.

When something is good - you keep using it. I've occasionally looked at others but Byword is what I continue to use.

The most gorgeous distraction-free editor

This is hands down my favourite markdown editor software. It is beautifully designed and works exactly as it should. Byword replaced a number of other writing apps I have been using. I still complile my work in Scrivener but if I need my creative juices flowing without distractions and whenever I need to concentrate just on writing, I always go to Byword.
