Write

Write is a minimalist text editor for Android Honeycomb Tablets. You can use it to take notes, to write journal entries or for other text editing tasks.

Write offers both a minimalist writing interface that allows you to focus on what you are currently writing and a proper Android Honeycomb style interface for managing your notes/journal entries. It has the features which should be in an Android text editor: clean interface, word count, proper Android appearance and searching your notes. You can get Write from the Android Market .

Features

Fullscreen mode

When you want to focus you can hide the action bar and go to the fullscreen mode. In this mode you will see just the text (and onscreen keyboard if you are using it). There is an additional fullscreen view mode, where you can read text without editing.

Automatic Saving

Notes save when you go back to the main screen (tap back or on the App icon) and when you switch to another App or go to the Home Screen.

Entries/notes are ordered by the usual most-recently-edited-first system. You can filter by date edited with a tap of your left thumb and you can search for via the top bar.

Word and Character count

So you can keep track of how much you've written.

Quick versioning

You can create a copy of a note at the tap of a button. And delete notes (after confirmation) quickly. You can export notes in HTML format to your external storage/SD card (ideal if you want to edit them in Word/Pages/OpenOffice Writer).

Bluetooth Keyboards

Bluetooth keyboards work really well with Write. With a Bluetooth keyboard fullscreen mode really is fullscreen (or as close as Honeycomb allows). But if you aren't using a bluetooth keyboard the onscreen one works well (autocorrect is enabled, with a physical keyboard it is disabled).

Share/Send

Using Android's share feature it is ideal for the preparation of blog entries, emails or other text. Tap on share to send it to many applications such as Gmail, Email, Twitter, Blogger, ... anything which supports sharing of text, so most such applications on Android. The usual caveat applies: you need to actually install the appropriate application first, but beyond that it should 'just work'.

Updates

Now updated with many new features and for compatibility with newer, smaller tablets such as Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire (2nd generation).

Choose from night and day mode, a selection of fonts, text sizes and line spacings.
