About WriterN
As a long-time user of Writer Plus, I used it to manage all my documents and notes. As my collection grew, organizing them became increasingly difficult—it lacked features for batch moving and deleting, as well as a way to quickly swipe through documents. Since it hasn't been updated in years, these features would likely never be added.
So, in my spare time, I developed WriterN. It adds the efficient management and reading features I always needed, while striving to maintain the original's simple and clean interface.
Please Note: WriterN Pro is **functionally identical** to the free version. It does not contain any extra or exclusive features.
So, Why Get the Pro Version?
The Pro version is for users who wish to support the ongoing development of this project. As a token of appreciation, activating Pro adds a "Pro" badge to the app's title and displays a thank-you card in the settings page. Beyond that, there are no other differences from the free version.
You can think of purchasing Pro as buying the developer a cup of coffee—it's the most direct way to show your encouragement.
If you find WriterN helpful, please consider supporting it. Thank you!
