Nextpad is just what you need in a Windows text editor — it works and looks good

[Windows Central]

From taking quick notes to writing without distraction, Nextpad is a solid option for users looking for a text editor.
A good text editor is a balancing act. You need it to have a full set of features to support the things you'll need in your writing, but at the same time it needs to get out of the way and let you write. This isn't an easy balancing act, especially when those more advanced features need to be easily and quickly acted with. You'll also spend a good chunk of time staring at the same screen, so it needs to be easy on the eyes.
Nextpad handles that balance smartly. It's a simple text editor with a fresh design and many features that aren't available on other apps, along with a very modern design.
The app supports Continuum's "pick up where you left off" for cross-device editing, and it visually fits into Windows 10 quite well with a slew of customization options.
It is available on Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, HoloLens, and Surface Hub as a free download, though some options require purchase.
