Appy Text is a Notepad app for Windows in Microsoft Store

Appy Text is a Notepad alternative UWP app that includes a decent set of features, all packed into a single interface. Text editors have a set of features different from traditional word processing programs. For example, text editors do not add formatting codes. This makes it easier to compile your code and is one of the reasons why software programmers and web developers use text editors to write and edit in programming and markup languages. That said, there are more choices than ever. Try Appy Text as a Notepad replacement on your Windows 11/10 PC.

Appy Text for Windows 11/10

Appy Text is a new Windows Store app from the developers of the popular Appy Weather that is available for Windows PCs, tablets, and phones. It acts as a modern replacement for Windows Notepad in the form of a UWP app. The tool looks simple with an uncluttered interface and decent set of features.

It lacks formatting tools like those in Microsoft Word, so you cannot attach anything to it. Instead, it simply lets you create plain text files.

When you launch Appy Text, the first thing visible on your device screen is the minimalistic visual design of the application. It features no-nonsense additions that distract you from your work.

It allows you to work with multiple documents simultaneously. Each of them gets displayed in a separate tab. Once you have made additions or changes to the original files, Appy Text saves them all, automatically. You need not try saving them individually once you have made the final changes.

The app offers support for Markdown. You can use the syntax to write documents for the web and an HTML preview of it can be generated with a single hotkey if required.

I find one feature missing in most of the text editors available today: simple word counting support. Appy Text addresses this concern. Besides, it lets you configure the number of characters per line to improve readability.

Finally, there’s support for different themes since too much bright white background can strain your eyes, especially at night. You can choose between different themes, including sepia, gray, and black.
