Writers looking for an app for writing in plain text efficiently

About Byword

Draft a blog post, write that story or complete a school report wherever you are. Use Markdown to format text with easy keyboard shortcuts, subtle syntax highlighting, word counters with live update, and much more. All your documents, on all your devices. With iCloud and Dropbox, you can create documents in Byword on your Mac and access them on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. And vice versa. You can edit them from anywhere, on any device you use. Byword includes complete Markdown support. Preview your documents in app, export to HTML, PDF, rich text, or publish directly to Medium, WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and Evernote. The lack of support for rich text is due to technical limitations and limited development resources. We are evaluating the cost/benefit of investing in rich text support of iOS. Meanwhile, we strongly recommend opting for plain text and markdown format for your documents. Macworld has a great article explaining why opting for plain text today is a good idea.

Focused
We think Focused is the new benchmark for markdown writing apps that will enable you to really focus on your work. Building on the amazing Typed app from Realmac Software, Codebots is proud to bring you Focused for Mac. Focused is not just a distraction-free writing app, it’s the first writing app that actually aids your focus. Markdown was created by John Gruber as an easy to read plain text format that allows you to create web based content with no HTML knowledge. The syntax that is used when writing markdown allows you to define the intent of different elements in the markdown document e.g. a # in front of a word indicates that the word is to be formatted and displayed as a Title. Markdown removes the need to memorize complex HTML tags, and an ever growing number of blogging platforms allow markdown to be used for content creation. No clutter, no distractions. Just a perfectly crafted set of tools to help you write and stay focused on the task at hand.
