Crafted with simplicity in mind, Crystal eliminates the noise of traditional word processors. 🔹 Key Features: ✅ Distraction-Free Interface – Clean, elegant design that lets you focus entirely on writing. ✅ Dark & Light Modes – Write comfortably any time of day. ✅ Minimal Formatting – Keep things simple or export to Markdown when you're ready to publish ✅ Reading Time, Word and Character Counter - Count the estimated reading time to give your readers the best experience
honestly this looks really clean, exactly what I want when I just need to write without fussing around. one thing I'd love is a quick way to set a daily word count goal that shows your progress somewhere subtle, kind of like a tiny progress bar at the bottom of the window. would help me actually finish drafts instead of just staring at a blank page.
Love how the reading time and word count live quietly at the bottom instead of taking up prime real estate like most editors do. The restraint in the formatting toolbar shows real respect for the writing process.
Love the minimal vibe here, feels like it actually respects my focus. One thing that would make it stick for me though is a built-in focus mode that locks the app to a single window so I can really disappear into the writing. Right now I still get tempted by other apps sitting in my dock. A true zen toggle would seal the deal.
