Finally after a decade of having this, I figured out why it's incredible... it just works! You can write text into it, save it as different chapters (like tabs) and have a Steam Cloud powered saving text editor ready for whatever typing needs you have, and setting the background image to my window is also a great feature --- the editor's colours can also be customised quite a bit to make it just perfect. You can pin this to the Windows taskbar and open it instantly without any launcher or splash screen of any kind and it's resuming my last working document, and closing it is actually a pretty safe thing to do, it reduces the time fumbling around with file browsing dialogs to zero and has become a literal notepad for me, can open it and close it within seconds and save any text I need to, and organise it in tabs. It's pretty brilliant in it's current state. For example AI prompts, social media posts, URLs, it's a great clipboard of sorts, if I were ever to write some long-form document I would probably use Nimble Writer for it now. I can open the program, write text, save it, and close it within like 2 seconds flat. It is seriously so powerful when it's pinned to your taskbar --- I'll probably have this pinned down there forever now! 10/10

Incredibly good. I own a few writing applications. A few of them are used by professional writers. Nimble writer compares amazingly well with them. Its features makes it easy to use and organize your writing. Not only that, but it is very lightweight. I only wished I didn't have to open steam every time to use it. Other than that, I can't recommend it enough.

I've been using Nimble Writer for almost two years and have gotten more than I ever expected to out of it. It has fantastic customization and managing chapters is far easier in this software than most others at this price point. It's great for brainstorming, rough drafts, and fan fiction writing. The program does not have a traditional spell-check like others do. There is a button that will tell you what words are misspelled but not which. This might irritate some (it did me at first), but I've come to enjoy it. Removing spell check removed many distractions that come with it (such as premature editing). If you're looking for a distraction free software with great organization options for your rough drafts, I'd say Nimble Writer is for you. I've written nearly 500,000 words using this program: everything from short stories, fan fiction, novel drafts, brainstorms, and the mundane email or essay. I've used this on a simple Windows laptop and have now moved on to using it on Steam Deck (in desktop mode) with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Both work great. Pro-Tip: To change the size of your font, press ctrl + or ctrl -. This helps a lot if working on the Steam Deck!

I love this word processor. It is non-invasive by not pointing out your mistakes, (I edit in a different program), helping me to concentrate on the first draft only. The customization settings are great and helped me with concentration and immersion. Although it will not be for everyone because of the limited capabilities, I find it great for a first-draft processor. Files can be exported to your PC, but you can also copy and paste your writing to wherever you want to do spellchecks. The only thing that I think will make it even better, is if it gets a function that you can use to set your daily word goal that display the progress on a bar or such. Really good tool for casual or professional writing.
