A Dream Come True for an ADD Writer
Mac App Store review by CR3ATIV3Kevin on September 8th, 2023
I like the simplicity. I have pretty creative mind paired with severe A.D.D. and am very easily distracted by other elements within the usual writing applicatioins like Pages & Word (Don't get me wrong, Pages is my program of choice when it comes to creating my final documents with its impressive design elements and photo enhancement abilities), but Paper is where my actual writing takes place. It is simple to use, and still beautiful. So many "wrtiting focused" apps are dull beyond recognition to the point where it feels like you are working on an old DOS command line system. Paper takes that simplicty and pairs it with modern elegance. I absolutely love that.
Paper even has custom typing sounds for those who enjoy their calming effect. You can pick between Typewriter and Mechanical Keyboard.
To enable typing sounds in the Mac app, go to the View menu, hold the Option key, and under Effects pick your preferred sounds.
To enable typing sounds in the iOS app, tap the settings icon in the top right corner, and under Effects pick your preferred sounds.
