#2Looks like it does exactly what it says. Mind writing a bit about the app, reasons for making it, development process, pricing model?

#3Origin is an app for writers & content creators. Its strictly a write only app, no editing allowed. Its designed to work exactly like a typewriter to improve focus, & avoid getting stuck / overthink on mistakes. Its main purpose is to get you from an idea to the rough draft as fast as possible.

Sure. Added the description. As far as development goes, this was kind of a personal challenge after reading all the documentation on NSTextView and its layout system. And as for the pricing model, the free version limits you to 250 words per document. And you can remove the 250 words per document limit via an inApp purchase.

You can "edit" in typewriter. When you press backspace it will cross the previous character.

It's based on the old school typewriters. :)
