What's the best writing app for desktop? 🤔
This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowWhat'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.

Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
