I've decided to try writing with [Imagine](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imagine/id566877440?mt=12).

On any given day I have a checklist to write, a couple paragraphs of help text to fine-tune or other little writing tasks. I've used TextEdit and MS Word but I don't like the cluttered UI, nor do I need 100 options. To escape TextEdit, lately I've taken to using my code editor [TextMate](http://macromates.com/), which is ill-suited for simple text writing.

Right now, the pros for Imagine are simple:

- It's ready to write when I open it
- It's readable out of the box
- It's lightweight and free

We'll see how it shakes out.
