It does what it says on the tin and surprisingly well even compared to options like Scrivener and Reedsy which have their advantages for a lot more money. If you have a big enough display or even multiples you aren't losing much by going with Nimble Writer and so far I am quite happy with it. Some other reviews of mentioned a lack of fonts but I seem to find all standard fonts in the customization menu, so its there if you look.

Finally after a decade of having this, I figured out why it's incredible... it just works! You can write text into it, save it as different chapters (like tabs) and have a Steam Cloud powered saving text editor ready for whatever typing needs you have, and setting the background image to my window is also a great feature --- the editor's colours can also be customised quite a bit to make it just perfect. You can pin this to the Windows taskbar and open it instantly without any launcher or splash screen of any kind and it's resuming my last working document, and closing it is actually a pretty safe thing to do, it reduces the time fumbling around with file browsing dialogs to zero and has become a literal notepad for me, can open it and close it within seconds and save any text I need to, and organise it in tabs. It's pretty brilliant in it's current state. For example AI prompts, social media posts, URLs, it's a great clipboard of sorts, if I were ever to write some long-form document I would probably use Nimble Writer for it now. I can open the program, write text, save it, and close it within like 2 seconds flat. It is seriously so powerful when it's pinned to your taskbar --- I'll probably have this pinned down there forever now! 10/10

Incredibly good. I own a few writing applications. A few of them are used by professional writers. Nimble writer compares amazingly well with them. Its features makes it easy to use and organize your writing. Not only that, but it is very lightweight. I only wished I didn't have to open steam every time to use it. Other than that, I can't recommend it enough.

A great writing software, it is both simple and has some key features that are nice to have when authouring a novel. It has general notes and character notes as well as the ability to have reference images all easily accessible from a side menu while writing, the software allows for easy management of chapters, and has an ability to save in common formats such as epub, pdf, and html. This software does have its quirks though, when formatting the document there is no indication of page breaks (it seems this is done to decrease the clutter when writing) and there is no preview of the final appearance so some either guesswork or use of embedding certain scripts within the document is needed for precise formatting, and some other writing software has more bells/whistles. But if you are looking for a good software to simply write a book with that is light on system resources and has many of the key functionalities (as far as I can tell) of other software I would highly recommend using Nimble Writer
