The sync indicator, still shown in a bottom toolbar in the main document list, now shows download progress and connection status too. In my tests, I was indeed able to turn on Airplane Mode on my iPhone and iPad, access Byword to edit documents that had been previously synced and downloaded, then switch back to WiFi or 3G and watch the app take care of uploading changes to Dropbox on its own. What impressed me right away was Byword’s new syncing logic: while stable and generally reliable in version 1.0, sync in Byword 2.0 includes offline support: documents are now always downloaded for offline availability (for editing purposes) and, for Dropbox, the developers also added support for offline rename, move, and delete. Other graphical elements of the app have been refreshed as well, but it’s nothing revolutionary. Upon first launching Byword 2.0 on iOS, you’ll immediately notice an updated walkthrough and the app’s new yellow UI accents that contribute to giving Byword a more unique personality. With sync (both through iCloud and Dropbox) and solid exporting options (including PDF), Byword has become many’s preferred solution to write down thoughts and longer essays – with a focus on Markdown, rich text, and cross-device availability of documents.īyword 2.0, released today for iOS and OS X, introduces new publishing options for WordPress, Tumblr, Evernote, Blogger, and Scriptogram, more robust sync with offline support and better conflict resolution, and several other enhancements. I have been testing Byword on all my devices for the past month, pointing the app to my /Apps/ folder in Dropbox where all my text files are stored. On the Mac, a great selection of keyboard shortcuts and support for native full-screen mode make Byword an experience that’s both powerful and intuitive on iPhones and iPads, the app’s excellent MultiMarkdown previews allow the Markdown-savvy writer to always keep an eye on the final outcome of a document. Metaclassy’s Byword is one of the finest Markdown text editors for iOS and OS X.
