For syncing your writing, notes, and to-do lists. SimpleText keeps your documents synced between your work, home, and devices like the iPhone. Unlike manual syncing, SimpleText merges your changes so you'll never overwrite data.

• What is SimpleText?

  SimpleText is a sync service that I created so that users can sync documents between work, home, and the iPhone. The service has three parts:

  
  

  1. SimpleText.ws The SimpleText.ws website, shown as the cloud above, stores your documents online and provide a sync service API that other apps use to keep their documents in sync.
  2. iPhone sync clients If a developer chooses to include SimpleText as a sync method, their apps have will SimpleText sync built in so it's easy to sync their documents to the SimpleText website.
  3. Mac sync client SimpleText sync isn’t built into applications for the Mac. Instead you must download the SimpleText for Mac client software, and use that to sync your documents on the Mac.

• How do I use SimpleText?

  Mac sync

  To sync plain text files from your Mac to the www.SimpleText.ws website you need to first download and install this SimpleText for Mac client software:

  

  Once installed, start SimpleText for Mac and you will see a new status bar item in the menu bar. Click that item and choose “Open SimpleText Folder” to reveal the local SimpleText folder on your Mac. Any plain text file that is stored in the SimpleText folder on your Mac is synced to the SimpleText.ws website.

  iPhone sync

  If SimpleText sync support is built into iPhone apps just choose the sync action from within the app and enter your Google ID email and password. After you have synced once each app will automatically sync on startup and when navigating to the documents list view.

  Web access

  You can access and edit your synced documents from any web browser through the www.SimpleText.ws website. Just visit the website, log in, and you’ve got your documents.
