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).

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.
