There's minimalism and then there's trying to sell someone a glorified version of notepad where you have to pay $9.99 if you want to so much as change the font. The writing environment is not that great, it's more of a distraction than anything and honestly, it just seems like the emperor's new clothes in a way.

Being able to at least change from serif to sans serif or lighter to darker themes is important especially if people have issues with their vision or just migraines and eye strain. You're better off with the full screen option of any other word processing apps.

It's a whole lot of nothing that will charge you a whole lot of money for what many other apps do for free. Give it a miss.

Paper for Mac is even more minimalistic than a piece of paper; you can't write on it and it runs only on hugely over-priced hardware. Brilliant. It even has an "Ultimate Minimalism Mode" which you can access using the shortcut "Cmd+Q".

What is Paper - Writing App?

Super-clean writing space with a lot of configurability that stays out of sight when you don’t need it.

HIGHLIGHTS

· Gorgeous writing space · Silky-smooth typing · Deep personalization (Pro) · Markdown or Plain Text · Syncs with iCloud · Previews in Marked 2 · Publishes drafts to Medium, WordPress, or Ghost · Exports to PDF, HTML, RTF, DOCX, image, or clipboard · Works seamlessly across your Mac, iPad, and iPhone

PRO FEATURES

Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.

While trialing Pro Features you might occasionally see a popup. Just press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.

Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your Macs that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to Macs. iPhones and iPads require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).

The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it press the "Show one-time purchase" button in the Pro Features popup that appears in the View menu.

In case you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license) click the Paper menu, hold the Option key of your keyboard, and under Nitpicking > Purchases select the respective upgrade.
