What's the best writing app for desktop? 🤔

Back in the day, when teachers used to assign students paper-based blog posts for homework, all you had was a pen and the ability to write without autocorrect technology. Those were simpler times.

Today, if you asked people which tools they use for writing, you will get 30+ different responses. Here are the most popular recommendations to Veni's question on Ask Product Hunt:

🐻 Bear is a simple, beautiful writing app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and is by far the most recommended writing app from all the responses.

📝 iA Writer comes in at #2, and is the cleanest writing app of the bunch. It gets out of the way and lets you focus on your thoughts.

💻 Ulysses is the third most recommended tool, and it’s powerful particularly for writing long form content across all devices.

Other writing tools that come very highly recommended include: Grammarly, Marked, Hemingway Editor, and dozens of others for you to check out.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
