Have you ever spent more than twenty minutes writing a term paper or blog post and found yourself distracted by the likes of Twitter, or Facebook? Yeah, me too. That’s why I’m glad I found Grandview. It’s a full-screen text editor for the easily distracted, and let’s face it, who isn’t easily distracted sitting at a computer these days?
One item that stands Grandview aside from other Mac writing software is that it only displays one word on the screen at a time. Wow! What a new concept. Normally when writing in some kind of word processing software like Word, you can see all the words on the screen in a regular format. Since, I’m a pretty quick typist I don’t look up at the screen very often, so I felt that this didn’t hinder me at all, infact, I was worried less about making typos and more about typing.
Since Grandview only displays one word on a screen at once, the text fits if it’s a really short word, or a really long word. Oh, and if you’re on a cinema display, it will take up the full screen on that too. It normally takes me a while to write a blog post, even though I’m a quick typist because I have to go back and double / triple check everything for typos, grammatical errors etc. Grandview is the most interesting and liberating text editor on the Mac, bar none. There’s been a June price drop to $3.99 and it’s available now in the App store.
