Secure, safe web browsing for the Mac
Any respectable freelancer is bound to have a wide array of different usernames and passwords for hundreds of websites. If you take security seriously, you know that it's common sense to use an individual password for each site. But how can you remember them all?

- You are always in control of where your data is. The cloud is an option but not a requirement.

A full screen writing environment
Jesse Grosjean created WriteRoom as an alternative to Microsoft Word. WriteRoom‚ a full screen writing environment that gets your computer out of the way so that you can focus on your work. The result is a subtle clearing of the mind that helps you write better, and elimination of all the other distractions on your computer.
WriteRoom won't do page layout or insert tables and graphs. WriteRoom's focus is just to help you get words on the page. Stay focused with WriteRoom's distraction free environment. You can stay on track with word count, and stay safe with in-built autosave. You can also customise the application to your heart's content, creating an environment that's perfect for the way you like to work
It's easy to keep your files in sync. WriteRoom uses the SimpleText.ws sync service to keep your files synced. WriteRoom for iPhone has SimpleText sync built in, and WriteRoom for Mac uses SimpleText for Mac to stay synced.
