Textwell is a multipurpose textbox which can be used for any writing tasks such as jotting, messaging, blogging, searching, posting, and so on.

For the simplicity, Textwell doesnt have features for styling text or managing multiple notes, but it is always ready to start writing instead, and the bunch of customizable actions can process your text in unlimited ways. Actions can be modified and created by yourself with JavaScript.

Textwell is like a single sheet of paper, but it automatically saves current content by appropriate timing as history, so that you can search and take it back some time later.

Also, current note content, actions, and history items are automatically synced with other devices including Mac, iPhone, and iPad via iCloud.

Textwell allows you to
- Simply write and read on a plain text field without any functional complexity or visual clutter.
- Route your text to other apps or services such as Email, Messages, Maps, Reminders, Google Search, and more, by choosing one from the action list. Actions are customizable with JavaScript.
- Modify your text by using actions such as searching/replacing words, inserting specific characters, reordering paragraphs/lines, time-stamping, location-stamping, changing cases, adding bullets, URL-encoding/decoding, escaping/unescaping HTML, and more.
- Preview HTML or markdown by also using actions.
- Search and restore previous content from the automatic history.
- Share current note, actions, and history items with other devices including Mac, iPhone, and iPad automatically via iCloud.
- Check numbers of characters, words, and lines.
- Use "Textwell" Widget.
- Use "Open" and "Open as Blank" Lock Screen Widgets (iPhone).
- Use "Textwell" share extension.
- Use "Add to Textwell" action extension.
- Use "Textwell" iMessage app.
- Change font size, line space, and some behaviors is Settings app.

めっちゃいい!
やば!拡張とかもできるから可能性無限大!!全文コピーとか、Tweetとか。evernoteとかFacebookとか…使い道さまざま!神アプリですよ!買わなきゃ損!
Awesome text editor. Underrated.
This editor has two amazing features. 1) cursor manipulation by gesturing. This means you can move the cursor by swiping on the screen. Much faster than tapping and holding. 2) javascript-based scripting/actions. You can manipulate text, send it to other programs. Write your own actions.
Very simple to use, reliable and powerful
Truly a gem of an app! Elegantly designed and the extensions which allow for manipulation of text via javascript are very powerful. Many thanks for all the effort!
Six Star App
I cant say enough good things about this App. Dont hesitate, its worth it and more.
Amazing!
This app is amazing! Its an amazing app in terms of its use and what he can do, and its also amazing to me that more people arent reviewing it and/or using it. It is essentially an endless blank slate in which you can edit text, hereto all platforms, search on many platforms, and do all kinds of shortcuts that you wouldnt believe until you start using it. Its a great way to write everything. I write all of my texts, emails, pretty much everything from this app, and share it directly from this. You dont have to hold down to select copy and paste, because it had "actions" (commands or presets or however you want to think of them), that allow you to do it without having to use touch other than to choose the command. It really does streamline the workflow for just about everything. You can make a phone call from this app, as well as just about anything you can do with text. It is the only single app that I keep in my dock. Everything else is in folders. If you dont have this, trust me, you need it. It will change your life on an iOS device.
