Reviews

The Traveler!

I love my traveler! It’s light and compact to take around! Also, fantastic for an adhd type brain to have no distractions AND helpful for my vestibular disorder, as computer screens can be tough on symptoms! Go go gadget Traveler!

I just got this and so far I love it. Very easy to set up and use, so not only is it distraction free but you don't have anxiety about the dramatics of using the technology part of it.Very basic and
straight forward.

Traveler was Amaze

Very Nice….. The Quality of Traveler was made in plastic but very good quality….. the scissors keyboard are elegant too type….. I like it…

Order placed approximately one month ago, never received

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a my order placed approximately one month ago, which has yet to be delivered. This timeframe significantly exceeds the 10-15 day delivery window communicated by your customer service team. Furthermore, I have been unable to obtain accurate information regarding the shipment's status or estimated delivery date from customer service. The tracking information provided has also proven to be unhelpful in locating the product. This delayed delivery has caused me to miss its intended use during a planned writing trip, making this purchase particularly disappointing. Given the price of the product, I am deeply disappointed by the cost of over 700€ and expect a real answer, a shipment date, and some kind of refund.

Traveller

So far loving the Freewrite Trveller. It's only been about a week since it arrived but it's great, just need to get used to the functions. Love how portable it is. Will be awesome for travel and also trips to the coffee shop.

FAQ

What is Traveler?

Traveler is a portable, distraction-free writing tool for serious and aspiring writers in a compact design that folds up to half the footprint of a laptop.

With an E Ink screen, automatic cloud syncing, and long-lasting battery, Traveler is the perfect everyday writing companion for writers on the go!

If I already have Smart Typewriter, should I get Traveler?

Both Traveler and Smart Typewriter offer distraction-free writing, but cater to different needs: Traveler is ideal for on-the-go writing with its compact design, while Smart Typewriter provides a tactile, traditional typing experience perfect for more stationary settings. If you're looking for a small, lightweight device for writing on the go, Traveler is the answer.

What type of screen does Traveler have?

Traveler has an E Ink screen and console display with an adjustable 135-degree viewing angle. Developed by E Ink and used by devices such as the Amazon Kindle, this technology mimics how ink looks on actual paper. Since it doesn’t produce blue light like traditional LCD screens, the Freewrite’s E Ink display is easy on the eyes, reducing eye strain and screen fatigue. E Ink screens also consume much less power, contributing to Traveler’s long battery life.

Does Traveler’s screen have a frontlight?

The Traveler's screen does not have a frontlight. While the E Ink display is easy on the eyes and clear to read in sunlight, you'll need to have an external light source for nighttime use. If you need a lit display, check out Smart Typewriter.

What type of keyboard does Traveler have?

Traveler boasts a full-size custom scissor switch keyboard. Specifically chosen for its superb tactile response, Traveler’s keyboard is high speed, responsive, and silky smooth. Each key has over 2mm of travel, which sets it apart from the typical laptop or folio membrane keyboards.

Does Traveler have arrow keys?

Yes. Traveler has WASD arrow keys to move within your drafts.

Can I change the physical keycaps on Traveler?

No, Traveler has a custom scissor switch keyboard, so the keycaps cannot be changed. If you’re looking for a device that will allow you to change the keycaps, check out Smart Typewriter.

Can I move documents to my computer without the cloud?

Yes, absolutely. And you can use Traveler entirely offline, if you'd like! Just connect Traveler to your computer via the included USB-C cable, and your Freewrite will appear as a USB Mass Storage Device. You'll be able to move your drafts to your computer as you would with any other flash drive.
