I haven’t traveled with it yet, but I feel like I travel to a “flow” zone when I use it at my desk. Equally important, the keys and keyboard and lightweight feel of the whole package are really well designed: functional, comfortable, not too loud/not too silent, but still inviting and even fun. The fact that it takes work to go back to a different place with the cursor, and the inability to delete chunks or cut-and-paste, makes editing difficult—which is a good thing. It really works to keep you going forward. And the extra bother of sending or transferring the file is just part of being a writer. It feels old-fashioned—in a good way.

Extraordinary product! Exceeds all my expectations ..
My Traveller arrived safe n sound in Sydney Australia where I had it shipped from the USA. Now I will use it to write my book, uninterrupted!

The free write traveler has become my essential daily writing tool for various writing projects and journaling. I enjoy the device and it have no regrets. Truly a good investment.

I was looking for something like a smart typewriter for a while so was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across Freewrite ! I am not an author nor do any kind of writing by trade, but I like to blog and journal a lot. I was going back and forth between the Traveler and their classic typewriter and I honestly went with the traveler due to price reasons. Thankfully, I am also a student and so was able to use a student discount to get the traveler and the sleeve.

I like how small and portable it is, and even though it uses scissor keys, there is some sense of sensory satisfaction in terms of touch and sound when using them. I really appreciate how I can send drafts directly to my email. The postbox account creation was a little confusing - basically if you don't have an account, you can just enter your email anyways when the Traveler prompts you to, and then sends information to your email about creating an account. I definitely notice myself writing a lot more already and bringing it everywhere with me, as it is quite fun. The lag that a lot of reviews talk about is not really that bad. However, I have noticed it will tend to lag more if I have more drafts/words. I don't type a whole lot at once though, so it is easy for me to send completed drafts to my email and then just delete it on the Traveler. I've also corresponded a bit with their customer service email and I appreciate how responsive they have been.

If the Traveler were perhaps just a little more affordable, and if they had the Traditional Chinese Zhuyin keyboard (they have English and French which I both type in), I would give one more star.

Genuinely this was the best purchase I could've made this year. I love this thing. I'm pretty sure it's saved my eyes from blue light death, and I covered it in stickers, so it rocks even more. Perfect little guy.
