An interesting application, certainly deserving the vivid attention of all those who want to be able to concentrate on the text itself while writing, and hate every possible source of distraction. Very easy to use, with some very nice features. In some ways, even more attractive than Ulysses, which to many users will seem somewhat too Spartan. Copywrite, for instance, happily offers the possibility to underline text, or to mark it as bold or italics, which Ulysses does not. This makes Copywrite definitely more suited for academic writing than Ulysses, which seems to have been designed especially for creative writing.

In order to become really suited for academic use, though, it would be very handy if notes (not in the sense of loose annotations, but in the sense of marginalia destined to be part of the final version), could be tied to an exact place in the text. Moreover, a highlight feature would be very convenient: this would make it possible, for instance, to easily mark portions of text in need of revision. And finally: it would be very nice if one could see and revise two documents (two chapters of the same book, for instance, or a text and its commentary) contemporaneously.

It's not all roses there, though: because at the present state of the application, the idea seems somewhat more mature than its technical implementation. Apart from a whole range of small technical imperfections, which don't need to be mentioned here and which will hopely be overcome in future versions, it must be said that the application as such is not very responsive to commands, and becomes unstable as soon as you're beginning to work with long documents. This keeps me from buying it now; but as soon as this problem will be solved, I'll certainly add Copywrite to my collection of writing tools.
