Winston - The typewriter simulator for macOS

Without losing focus of your ideas, without the constant backtracking and endless fussing over your text, judging it too soon and killing your ideas dead!
Winston is about putting imagination and ideas on "paper" and making a mess while you're doing it.

Amazing. I wish I could use bigger letters. Maybe I'm missing something.

I intend to do more writing this year and I'm already a fan of Ommbits by Ommwriter, and Winston looks like a clever skeuomorphic alternative to get into the groove.

Love this! Started typing as usual, made a mistake, and backspaced (as you do) only to be surprised and realise what an amazing thing the typewriter is. It was unnerving, in a way, that I couldn't go back and delete my mistakes, but had to cross them out instead, leaving a big blotch on my paper. A good reminder of how much we've taken writing for granted. Forces you to think before you write—much needed in our times. Well done, makers, and all the best for the future.

Saw this on the App Store before seeing it on PH. Instant download 😝 It's definitely a lot of fun (especially when you show it to others) but I hate being unable to erase mistakes. I mean, that's the point, but it's not for me. Worth a try for the graphics.

@anna_0x I use it on my MacBook and shared the exact same sentiment as you. Then I found out that there's an option called Amend Text which lets me erase mistakes, and it just made using the app so much better!

Great typewriter simulation, reminds me of my Selectric. I would use it all the time if it had basic editor functionality such as delete (not just last character) and insert.
