DOSwriter

DOSwriter is a minimalist distraction-free Android writing environment inspired by dedicated writing devices and keyboard-centric workflows such as the Alphasmart Neo and DOS/Unix text editing tools. It is designed for fast, keyboard-driven writing with a focus on stability and simplicity. The keyboard workflow is intuitive and easy to learn. It has tools that address the problem of editing large text files on small phones and e-inks.

DOSwriter has good screen control for emulating e-ink displays on backlit devices and has easy ergonomic color settings. It also works on B&W and color Android e-ink displays such as the Boox and the BigMe. Color themes can be set for Day/Night modes. Font size and screen brightness can be adjusted by simple keyboard controls.

Other useful features are an outline manager for project organization, a remote PC file sync tool, and a virtual keyboard optimized for DOSwriter editing on the go.

Use DOSwriter to capture and organize your thoughts on your Android device for later computer formatting with publishing software.
