Oh, I love this! It's not a full-fledged word processor but I think that's kind of the point - you don't do your final edit in this, you get yourself to where you have something to edit. Which for me is the hard part.
A friend of mine is looking for an app like this for Android-there's really not anything quite like it! I know it would be a lot of work, so it's just a non-serious suggestion: Would you consider an Android port?
I love this app! But recently I updated to the latest version and for some reason, the Curly Quotes aren't working. The option is on in Advanced Settings but they only come out as Straight Quotes.
Downloaded and working great so far! I really like the expand background to window option, too; I didn't realize how much it was bothering me until you added the option. I really like this app and that you take the time to respond and fix things, so I bought the Essential Theme Pack. Thank you for your hard work! <3
NOTICE: Please update to the latest version if you are experiencing a crash upon starting the program, an issue with changing my itchio username and the code checking the latest version has been fixed
Been loving this app so far to write my stories! But currently there's an issue with the latest build on Mac where it crashes 3 seconds after booting up. I've tried restarting my laptop to see if it was a memory issue, but it's still persisting :(
Hi sorry about this, I’ve figured out the issue and will release a fix asap. In the meantime, the app should work offline if you turn off your internet. It happened because I changed my itchio username, so the version check is failing in a way I didn’t expect.
I absolutely love this. I stumbled across it on tumblr when it went semi-viral for a short while. I'm so happy I can try it out now that I have an actual working laptop. Which brings me to one of two questions I have.
Are there plans for an app version or at the least a browser version of this?
And will there be a version that saves progress like word does? I just had to update my computer to see if it would stop the hideous non-plugged-in-lag that's driving me nuclear and realized I lost my last 200 words T_T.
hi, at some point last year (june?) i had a version of stimuwrite that i managed to be able to use and i really really loved it. that was the most i wrote in a long time. i remembered it recently and downloaded the new update, and i can't seem to get it to run at all. the program closes after showing the title screen for a few seconds, no error popups or anything. it does the same thing even when launching it through the itchio app. please help, i really want to be able to use it again!
Hi, there! I seem to be having the same issue as the user above. I've deleted the listed file, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've also deleted and re-installed the app just in case: I seem to be able to run the older version with no issues, so I'll use that in the meantime! Any thoughts on why the new version might not be working? (I'm on a Mac running Ventura 13.4.1, if that helps). Thanks for the wonderful app! Truly a life-saver.
Hi, so first off, I unequivocally love this program. It's so helpful for my brain, and I give it 5 stars. When I use it with timed sprints, it's usefulness just skyrockets. The only feedback I want to leave is I'd really appreciate a spellcheck/grammar feature. I understand this program is meant to just get words down, and you're supposed to paste it into a different writing program. But the way I use it, and several other friends, we often copy and paste directly from Stimuwrites 2 into the chat, sending snippets to each other. And editing in different programs is unwelcome to us, and we prefer to just keep and polish first drafts for technical issues. That's why a built-in spellcheck feature could be really useful. I understand if it's difficult to code it though, and I'm leaving a 5 star review anyways because Stimuwrites 2 totally achieves what it promises---being an ADHD friendly writing app that stimulates you to write.

One was in the works but I had to pause it due to life circumstances. I may resume development soon
I'll let my friend know! Hope things continue to improve for you!

Have you tried going to Options > Recover Session?
Fun fact: I tried to make a theme with the tutorial you posted a few comments below and it all went wrong lmao
I will be patiently waiting for new themes from you hahaha
ah, I’m sorry you weren’t able to get it to work! If you like, you can email me your theme files and I’ll take a look :) stimuwrite@eveharms.com

Hello! I'm sorry you are having issues with the program. Please try this:
1. Navigate to the StimuWrite user data folder in your computer
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\StimuWrite\macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/Linux:
~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/StimuWrite/2. Delete the file stimuwrite.cfg and the addons folder (if there is one )
3. Start StimuWrite
Let me know if this fixes the issue.
