WriteRoom also has a few other features that reveal themselves when you click the actions icon at the center button of the currently open note. You can delete the document; e-mail it (set a default recipient in the WriteRoom preferences and save yourself the trouble of addressing each e-mail); and rename the document (which changes the name of the document in the list view). Last, but far from least, is the Document Statistics button which shows a popup alert listing how many paragraphs, words, and characters your document has—very handy for those statically inclined writers out there.

If you find yourself using your iPhone as a replacement for your ideas notebook and don’t care for the device’s included Notes app, WriteRoom is well worth its $5 price tag for the ease of copying documents to and from your iPhone (and doubly so if you plan on buying another of Hog Bay Software’s apps, because you get a coupon with WriteRoom for the iPhone that is good for $5 off the price of either WriteRoom for the Mac or Taskpaper).

WriteRoom is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.x software update.
