WARNING: It's an abandoned project even if it works 100%. I replaced this app with Typora.

Old post:
Rock solid distraction free writer. Markdown on the fly, where you write it gets visible over your cursor. Transparent cloud & local storage. Light & Dark theme. Beautiful UI design. Right scroll map as Atom or Sublime text. Many file save formats also export formats. Ultra-light on resources. Shortcuts for everything. Multi language spell-checking. One payment for life.
I would love an android version for it... at least a webapp would be fine.
I've kept up with Write!'s development for years, from way back when it was freemium.
Now the project seems abandoned. Last product update: May 8th 2018. Last blog post: March 7th 2018. Last twitter post: August 23rd 2018. I've e-mailed the devs today and will update my review accordingly in case they reply.
Their lack of updates aside, Write! is currently an unfinished product. Not to mention they offer cloud service but anyone not interested in hosting their personal information in Write!'s severs is out of luck -- it's there whether you trust Write! with your data or not. They have also removed their "feedback" section which truly makes me believe the project is dead and closed-off from any additional input and support.
Their tight control on your data, lack of updates as well as closed-sourced code makes me unable to recommend their product.
Here are some other Write! alternatives I use and recommend:
Typora (free for now) 
Joplin (free and open source) 
Manuskript (free and open source).
I been following the software sometimes and i can 100% say it's dead. You can see Write! history by the users comments below, they did offer a way to download a offline version without the server stuff but then started the subscription model.
That is how it started and ended, it's no different from other office softwares it will just cover the whole entire screen until you exit. No apps or anything, just you typing out words until you leave the program.
nice and intuitive
Write has many good points – which are now nearly all superseded by what Typora offers.
Write used to be the best at what it did, and its bimonthly updates added a lot of value to the whole thing. But at some point, it got discontinued without notice when a lot of functions were still missing and others were wonky at best (Markdown support for instance).
Its WYSIWYG/Markdown mixup format though is noteworthy, but at the era of markdown, that's might not be what you are looking for.
I still rate it 4 stars because it was good while it lasted but since it got discontinued before coming to a finished state, you should definitely look for alternatives. (Such as Typora, which is free, takes the same minimalist approach, and proposes at least the same functionalities, minus the cloud integration.)
Great app. Best for win\mac writer. But no updates 8-10 months. Is project alive or not? I hope alive!
I like it, but active development is missing ! So better get a free alternative
