NoteBooks Pro (formerly WriteKit) For Mac

NoteBooks Pro (formerly known as WriteKit) is a straightforward macOS application that provides basic text editing tools, which you can use to take notes and edit text documents.

NoteBooks Pro features a simple and uncluttered interface from which you can quickly open an exiting text document or create your own. The top toolbar helps you create or open a file, save your work and change the text formatting using the Bold, Italic and Underline.

On top of that, NoteBooks Pro helps you change the text alignment and keep track of the number of words and characters you have written so far. When your work is completed, you can print it or share it via Email with just a few clicks of a mouse click.

As mentioned above, you can open any text file in NoteBooks Pro or paste your text from another application or text editor. Unfortunately, NoteBooks Pro is not able to receive text from all existing text editors and you might encounter problems when trying to copy text snippets from apps such as TextEdit or Smultron.

This incompatibility issue, encountered during the testing period, might push prospective buyers away. However, if you need to write your documents from scratch, you can take advantage of the provided formatting options presented earlier.

When it comes to saving your work, you’ll encounter another problem that can prove to be rather annoying. The Save function works as “Save as” and, as a result, you have to provide a name and file path for your work every time you try to save it.

On the bright side, NoteBooks Pro offers a distraction-free environment that you can enjoy by enabling the full-screen mode. All other applications are automatically hidden in the background and the entire screen is occupied by NoteBooks Pro. We would have appreciated the full-screen mode even more if the text editing area was capable to expand together with the app interface.

In conclusion, NoteBooks Pro presents itself as a light and intuitive text editing application that, unfortunately, is also light when it comes to features and text editing capabilities.

Hopefully, future updates will fix the above mentioned issues, add new features and turn NoteBooks Pro into a word processor worthy of its price tag.
