The Most Dangerous Writing Apps ⚠️

The more you write the better you get, the quicker you're able to turn coffee into text. Medium and Google Docs provide a very welcoming experience, and yet, one of the hardest parts of writing is getting started and staying focused on the task at hand.

That is why The Most Dangerous Writing App was invented. The moment you stop typing the screen starts turning red, and soon after all progress is lost. There is no option to save.

Another technological cure to writer's block is Flowstate, which is available on the Mac App Store and iOS. Flowstate deletes everything if you stop typing, making it equally dangerous.

Other apps that help you simplify your message include Easy Write and Cleartext, both of which only allow you to use the 1,000 most common words (plus cofveve).

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.
