5 Pieces of Software That Will Make Your Mac a Lean, Mean, Writing Machine

For any Mac users and aspiring writers out there, you may be wondering which software to buy to help write blogs posts and articles.  You may need the software to aid in the search and collection of source information.

I have compiled a list of 5 that follows no particular order of excellent contenders for the task.

1. White room

This software allows you to embrace your creativity by blocking the urge to browse whilst writing.  To be honest we all need a little whipping from time to time.

The standout characteristics of white room are the full black screen with green text area for editing. If all you need is something to prevent you updating you Facebook or Twitter page then Whiteroom could be worth a shot.

Whiteroom doesn’t offer any guarantee it will make you a better at writing but it may give you the opportunity to spend more time one the task with may make you a better writer as a consequence.

White room offer a 25% discount if you purchase Taskpaper (a recommended todo list manager) making the cost of Whiteroom $24.99.

2. Scrivener

Scrivener is a potent writing tool that gives Mac users the ability to write articles whilst organising the research data for you.  Seen as one of the best it costs around $45 and if you have the option to try before you buy, by downloading a trial version from the Scrivener website.

3. Firefox

Firefox! You may be surprised to hear that, but with the ability to choose and download thousands apps through its add-on feature.  You can customise the browser to suit your needs and it will save details of website you have visited

4. Evernote

Good creative, inspired writing comes from having lots of details on a subject and gathering it in a way that that you can easily refer to.  Evernote allows you to do just that, its’ universal clipping software saves web pages, PDF files and other word processed files.

Like the best things in life Evernote if free.

5. Quickcursor

Quickcursor is really like an application that permits you to use Whiteroom. Some users will make use of Quickcursor for writing emails or blogs.  It’s very good for blog writing when working in whiteroom or Scrivener.

You can purchase Quickcursor from the Mac App Store for $4.99.
