Hemingway, a Writing App to Help You Edit, Adds a Distraction-Free Mode, PDF Export, and More
Windows / Mac: Hemingway was originally a small smart network that highlighted common writing errors to help you edit. Then it came down to the desktop . It now gets a free update that adds a new distraction-free editing mode, PDF export, and more.
You can now hide the sidebar in Hemingway, which means you can sit in edit mode without that clumsy sidebar to distract you, while the highlighted blocks of passive phrases, compound words, adverbs and verbose sentences remain. The overall app interface is also cleaned up a bit, replacing the formatting icons at the top with plain old text. You can now also save and send PDFs that contain editing highlights. Finally, Hemingway can now publish directly to Medium or WordPress.
This is a free update if you already have the app, although you will need to manually download it using the link sent to the email address you originally purchased the Hemingway from. It also has a price increase of up to $ 20, which is a bit hefty if you didn’t return the app when it was $ 5. Fortunately, the web app will remain free, as always.
