- A Brief History of ClarisWorks
-
“Of course, a lot of this kind of stuff is old hat today, but it was new and exciting in 1989.”
ClarisWorks was easy to use, produced great documents, and was the first truly multi-media presentation tool I used. I continued using it (as AppleWorks) long after it was discontinued, because nothing beat it for ease of writing and ease of drawing.
- Stylograph
-
“Stylograph was created by Great Plains Computer Co. in Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was sold by Sonex Systems in Williamsville, New York for the FLEX OS. The product was formerly called STYLUS. The product was ported to OS-9 and UniFLEX.”
The ultimate distraction-free writing app is a typewriter.
You have to enjoy using asterisks and/or underscores for emphasis, and hashes for headlines, but if you do, ia Writer is a great app for writing and note-taking on Mac OS and iOS.
