Before I got my smart typewriter I never finished any projects and would always have strong starts that just fizzled out. In the 2 months I've had my Smart Typewriter I've written more than I ever have in my life and even submitted a few drafts for consideration! Thanks!!
Not much to say other than it perfectly does the job it's designed to do. Hopeful for the release of sleeves with more personality/colors in the future.
I love everything about my Freewrite. It's made me infinitely more productive, which was the idea! It just makes me happy whenever I get to type with it. The keys make a very satisfying clicking sound. The keyboard size is perfect. The screen was smaller than I expected, but the font size is able to be adjusted, and I got used to it very quickly. I can see the appeal of a small screen because it's meant to write first drafts anyway, not to do elaborate edits. Anyway, it's also super lightweight and portable, and in the two months or so that I've had it, despite using it nearly every day, I've only had to fully charge it once. Definitely recommend!!
Escribo esta reseΓ±a en espaΓ±ol porque me es mΓ‘s fΓ‘cil expresarme de este modo. La mΓ‘quina tardΓ³ exactamente 18 dΓas en llegar a mi hogar lo cual fue inesperado, porque creΓ que tardarΓa mucho mΓ‘s por el envΓo internacional. La Freewrite me ha permitido sentarme a escribir varias cosas que tenΓa pendientes. TambiΓ©n me ha permitido concentrarme para poder aterrizar diferentes historias o cosas de mi trabajo. Los botones son suaves y la experiencia de escribir sin presiones y sin la distracciΓ³n de editar es excelente. AdemΓ‘s adaptar el teclado al espaΓ±ol fue muy sencillo. Me encanta mi Freewrite!!
Pretty awesome tool. Reminds me of the old school typewriters i learned to type on. The lag from stroke to screen isn't bad either. Easy on the eyes.
Was supposed to get this free with my purchase but since it was out of stock I ended up with a set of writing prompt cards instead and had to purchase this at full price. It's sort of ugly and doesn't fully snap but I needed it to protect the unit so I guess it is what it is
I am so very pleased with the high quality of the desk mat. The extensive details are truly outstanding. Each image breathes a new story in my imagination. Thank you for creating this masterful inspiration
Yes, it's expensive. Don't regret it for a second. Writing on the Traveler is like a dream. I've tried a lot of different devices for undisturbed writing but this one is the best. Highly recommend it if you have the money.
I absolutely LOVE my Hemingwrite!! I love all my Freewrite devices!! Best gifts I ever bought myself!!
The Alpha was my first Freewrite. My cheaper test drive with the Freewrite devices. I quickly fell in love. I had no idea how Free my weiting would be until i removed all the distractions. And Wow!! I soon bought the hemingwrite, and Traveler, and now Iβm waiting for the Cosmic. So I can try it and share them with ithwrs
Absolutely in love. Again. Life took me in other directions and my Freewrite collected dust and somehow the screen broke. I sent it back in for a speedy repair and I'm back to thoughts flowing across the keyboard again. It came back with the new software and it is like I have obtained a wholly new object.
It's perfect. An invaluable tool for writers. I work from my computer, and staring at a screen all day can be incredibly taxing on my eyes. The traveler allows me to step away from harsh light and still do what I care about most: writing. They market it as a tool to escape distractions, I agree, yet it's so much more. It brings writing to a new level of analog enjoyment. Very grateful.
And shoutout to the marketing team, I've never gotten sucked into ads before. And I never felt the need to purchase any advertised product until I came across the Freewrite Traveler.
Truly amazing. Forever supporter of Freewrite.
(Only suggestion: I personally don't see a use-case for the subscription. I think it'd be super dope if a future firmware update for subscribers includes templates. A screenplay template similar to Final Draft would be incredible. I'd become a subscriber instantly.)
The sleeve looks great, is well made, and seems like it will do the job. There is a bit of a problem with the fit however, the magnetic snap on one side is a bit off which makes it hard to close since the whole thing is a tight fit. It feels like with wear the sleeve should loosen up a bit, it would be great if it fit now.
The Traveler is very cool but its build quality is quite poor for the price. In hindsight I would have chosen something else for the money.
Received my order. I look forward to using this product.
Truly transforms the writing experience, including the mind-experience, to something more like a typewriter.
Different thoughts, more associations, less draining, and more thinking overall committed in a given writing session, and greater satisfaction at the end of it.
I never feel Iβm βdoneβ writing when at a computer, not to mention all of the little distractions β for better or worse!
The Freewrite guarantees mindfulness, from its end at least. Iβve thought about spending the $$$ on one of these for several years now, wondering if it was worth it β it is, very much so, and without a doubt.
Thanks Astrohaus! Great work, product, and integration!
The speed from typing to viewing text is pretty much immediate, which helps with flow. It's also super simple and removes even more distractions than the other models. And it's very fast to be able to start typing as soon as an idea hits. Not boot up time to wait, just hit power and go!
Im really bad at editing as I write and will get stuck on the same 100 words. I have the font setting set to large and it feels like I can draft a full book within a week.
I've been waiting three weeks and still haven't received my order. I already reported it by email and haven't received any response.
I don't know if they're going to refund my money or resend the order because the issue hasn't been resolved.
My favorite feature is how quickly it wakes up and I can start typing right away. I take it everywhere.
