Does its job

Not had to use as of yet.

Great product

I love this product. The only downside I can think of is that tapping the keys is a bit loud.

Loving my freewrite traveler

I’ve been using this machine almost nonstop since I got it. I sit on my patio and there’s direct sunlight and I can see every little thing. I am enjoying working with the ps plus subscription so that I can move my documents back-and-forth a little bit. I’m loving just how much I can write with abandon and remember not to edit. It’s definitely promoting the flow states I was hoping for..

100K Words Freewrite Pin

100k

proudly sporting my 100k pin

Not that I needed another Circa cover….

I have used Levenger’s Circa system almost since the beginning and have disks in various sizes and materials, paper in all sizes and directionality (I really miss the Rhodia partnership), and at least a half a dozen covers.

So I did not need a Freewrite cover. Doesn't mean I didn't buy one and put it to use. I just didn't need one :)

Alpha Raven Black With Backlight

The Freewrite Alpha set me free.

I love this gadget. It is so simple. A keyboard that sends your words into the cloud. As a child I used to journal and write and attend All the young writers conferences. As I got older I became blocked. This little device has allowed me to find the freedom to write again. I can't express how much I love it. I use it everyday. I have had the thing for about 2 weeks and have written about a thousand words a day easily, not counting three scripts, and five full outline drafts. It is kind of been a magic device for me. It is so simple and easy to use. It looks cool. It feels cool. It works great. Thank you Astrohaus for a fantastic product.

Gets me excited to write!

I love writing regardless of tool, but this device has rekindled my overwhelming NEED to write. I absolutely love using this smart typewriter, and so every day I look forward to the process with newfound energy.

Easy Set Up

This was a birthday gift for my mother and the setup was easy! She's excited to get back to writing!

Great Machine

Craftsmanship is very nice. AttachΓ© is crisp, keys are clicking well, only thing is space bar β€œsticks” but it works if you press it. Good purchase and fun to use. Excited to write again.

a famous author

I haven’t had this device long but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I am enjoying the physicality of using the keyboard which I’m finding more satisfying than my familiar computer keyboard. So far I haven’t encountered any glitches and everything has worked flawlessly. I don’t expect it to make me a famous author but for my modest uses I expect to have plenty of fun using it.

Writing on the fly couldn't be easier

I own the Freewrite original typewriter and the Traveler. Love them both, especially the Traveler. So I wasn't sure about purchasing the Alpha, I thought it might be a lot like the Traveler. But no, it's very different and has found its place in my writing routine. The LCD screen with backlight mean the device can be used in dim light (I sometimes write late in the evening sitting in bed). Very handy. The device feels very light and is instantly on, no loading time. I do love the e-ink devices but this one is a great addition to the Freewrite range. I find it ultra portable and ideal for writing sessions away from home. It fits in my smallest backpack, is very ergonomic and barely needs charging as the battery lasts forever. It's now my favourite to take to the local library and on day trips for writing workshops and such.

I absolutely love my traveler!

It has been so helpful to have a tool like this to write without distraction or interruption. The keyboard is smooth functioning and everyone is always asking about it. Thanks for making such a great product!

A heavy pin, looks great on my Alpha case. A solid reminder of my first 100k.

Career changing tool

I rarely have been so motivated to write something about a product as I am with the Freewrite signature edition. Since purchasing this in May, I have finished a book of poetry about post-war reintegration and healing after combat-disabling injuries. I am 20k words into my first novel, drafted entirely on the Hemingwrite. It's centered around Hemingway's lasting legend. I have been drafting since May 10th and I'm at Chapter 7. I can't wait to get this to an agent. The Freewrite has been instrumental to my ability to get 3k words a day. Truly, I am grateful. Respectfully, H.D. Frost

Lives up to the name

My productivity has increased leaps and bounds. Portability is key. And to all the other chickenscratchers out thereβ€”when you can look back at an unexpected and lovely moment of inspiration and actually READ what you wrote, well…that makes a difference.

Love it

I lost track of time, my story just free flowed for 3 hours before I took a break. That hasn't been the case in years. I love this product and freedom it has given me.
