Writed is a mini text editor that allows you to create text-based documents. With this app, you will concentrate more on your writing than on the document's layout. Providing Markdown formatting syntax, the application formats your document in real time. In addition, the tool comes with beautiful themes meant to give your document a stylish appearance when printing or exporting to PDF.

The program's interface is very simple and easy to use. The main window consists of a large writing area, with no toolbars or text formatting buttons to clutter your view and distract you from the writing process. You just need to open a new document and note down your thoughts and ideas as they cross your mind. However, you can use bold, italic, and strikethrough characters, which can be enabled, if necessary, from the drop-down menu. What is good about this program is that you can open multiple documents at once and work on your projects simultaneously. The app provides real-time count of characters and words, as well as a handy spell checking feature. Furthermore, you can change the main window's theme for a nicer writing experience. Once you finish the editing, you can set the format for your printer, the paper size and orientation, as well as the scale value. The documents you create can be exported as HTML, PDF, or Markdown files.

In conclusion, Writed is a simple text editor that offers a straightforward solution to note down your ideas. The lack of toolbars on the main window is both an advantage for fast-typing users – as they aren't distracted from their writing flow – and a disadvantage for those who aren't very familiar with using nothing but the keyboard.
