Thing of the day: a typewriter, which will help to focus on the text

Astrohaus company a few years ago launched its first gadget for writers and journalists The Freewrite, to raise money for its production via Kickstarter. This is a fairly weighty device with a six-inch screen and a mechanical keyboard that connects to the network via Wi-Fi, to back up files. Typewriter, updated for the modern work environment.

Freewrite Traveler - a rethinking of the machine, a compact, lightweight version of it. The principles of operation of the device remain unchanged. The same screen diagonal six-inch electronic ink, the ability to synchronize with cloud storage and a full-size mechanical keyboard. Keys on the new device had to be replaced by thinner to reduce its weight - c 2 kg to 800

Traveler can be folded and put away in a bag, in contrast to the first model, so the new product will be useful on the road. For example, if an idea for a text comes in a plane or train.

The functionality of the machine is limited so that the user is not distracted by any social network, nor messengers, nor the history of the browser. But there is support for Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote and Postbox - service from Astrohaus. Owners of previous versions can also synchronize documents between two devices.

Freewrite Traveler allows you to scroll through the text, and edit only the parts in error, but there is still no copy and paste function.

Gadget charging port USB-C and working up to 30 hours on a single charge. In addition, you can connect a USB device to the desktop and copy the typed text.

Order Freewrite Traveler for 329 dollars you can on Indiegogo. Expected delivery time - in June 2019.
