Bean is a small, easy-to-use word processor.
Bean is lean, fast, and uncluttered. If you get depressed at the thought of firing up MS Word or OpenOffice, try Bean. If you use Text Edit but have to jump through hoops just to get a word count or change the margins, try Bean. If you're pining away for Write Now-esque simplicity or just want a low-pressure writing environment, try Bean.
New in this version:
•Enhancements
the most current version of Bean should now always work with CopyPaste Pro. Note: the CopyPaste Pro command Open Selection in Editor will start the most current version of Bean present; Open Editor however starts whatever version of Bean is contained within the CopyPaste Pro bundle. Thanks to Peter Hoerster for the code.
added up-to-date French localization (thanks to Daniel Elmiger) and a new Italian localization (thanks to Stafano Carlini)
•Notes
Users have reported that Bean runs well on Snow Leopard, except for Preferences > Advanced > Interface > Suggest filename at first save. I believe there is a new API for that in Snow Leopard, so that will be fixed whenever I can do the first Snow Leopard build. My Powerbook G4 (not Snow Leopard compatible) somehow knew its days were coming to an end; it died. Happily, I now have an Intel-based Apple and will be installing Snow Leopard soon. ;-)
