GOALS

• Write anywhere, anytime

• Solve the hassle of formatting

• Insert links and images fast

• Reduce the time to publish

STEP 0: GET DROPBOX.You do have Dropbox, right?

No, really.

STEP 1: MAKE A FOLDER CALLED “TEXT.”

STEP 2: GET BYWORD.

App Store on Mac is just like on iPhone.

STEP 3: SAVE A BYWORD FILE IN “TEXT.”

STEP FOREVER: REJOICE. !YOU JUST MADE YOUR LIFE EASIER.

A CLEAN, WELL-LIGHTED FILE

SO…

• Make any notes legible and organized

• Write pro-looking emails

• Publish blog posts

With formatted text files, you can:

BUT THE KICKER IS…

You can take them with you.

Sync them with any device or computer.

They don’t care what app you use.

(“Platform-agnostic,” as we say in the biz.)

You can start them on one device…

…and finish them on another.

WHAT BYWORD CAN DO

• Helps you format the text

• Shows you a preview of the formatting

• Exports quickly

WHAT BYWORD CAN DO

You can even add links and images.

Remember, you don’t have to remember. !Byword does the Markdown for you.

AND THEN…Byword on your iPhone or iPad
