DripWriter 1.2.1 — easy pause + Word newlines/spaces

Pause anytime with ⌘⌥P (resume with the same keys), or click the DripWriter window to pause and your text field to resume — no need to stop.

Word docs now keep newlines & spacing. All of Word's line-break variants are normalized, tabs become spaces (a real Tab keypress was jumping focus out of the target field), and non-breaking/thin spaces are fixed. Drag a .docx in and the line breaks and spacing come through.

Universal (Intel + Apple Silicon), macOS 13+. First launch: right-click → Open.

DripWriter 1.2.0 — drag in a doc

What's new in 1.2.0

Drag in a Word doc. Drop a .docx (or .doc, .rtf, .txt, .md) anywhere on the
DripWriter window and its text loads straight into the editor, with paragraphs, blank lines,
and lists preserved. No more copy-paste.

One honest note: DripWriter types by synthesizing keystrokes, which only produce plain text.
So the words and layout come through faithfully, but visual styling (fonts, bold, colors) can't
be reproduced by typing into another app.

Smaller window. The default window is noticeably more compact now. (⌘K still collapses it
further to a tiny typer.)

DripWriter 1.1.1 — visible go-back fixes

What's new in 1.1.1

The go-back pass now makes the fix obvious. When it re-reads and returns to an
earlier spot, it deletes the whole wrong word and retypes it correctly, instead of
quietly swapping a single character. You can clearly see it fix each mistake rather
than leave it. The final text still matches your input exactly (verified across 7,200
randomized runs).

Turn it on with Max Human mode (⌘3), or the "Draft, then go back & edit" toggle.

DripWriter 1.1 — draft-then-revise

What's new in 1.1

Draft, then go back and edit. DripWriter now types like someone actually writing: it lays
down a rough draft (leaving a lowercase sentence-start, a mistyped word, or a dropped comma), then
re-reads, arrows back to each spot, fixes it, and returns to the end — capitalization, typos,
punctuation. The final text still matches your input exactly.

Grounded in keystroke-logging writing research: bursts of typing separated by planning pauses
(often 2 s+) at sentence boundaries, and shorter pauses during revision.

It's on by default in Max Human mode (⌘3), or toggle "Draft, then go back & edit" in any mode.

DripWriter 1.0

DripWriter types text into any field like a human — variable speed, natural pauses, fatigue, and self-corrected typos — with a one-click Humanize pass and a Max Human mode.

Download & install

1. Download DripWriter.zip below and unzip it.
2. Move DripWriter.app to your Applications folder (optional).
3. First launch — the app is open-source and not notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper will warn. Do one of:
   • Right-click the app → Open → Open, or
   • System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → Open Anyway, or
   • In Terminal, clear the quarantine flag:

     xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/DripWriter.app

4. Grant Accessibility (so it can type into other apps): press Start typing once — it opens the right settings pane. Switch DripWriter ON under Privacy & Security → Accessibility. The app auto-detects it; no restart needed.

Requirements

• macOS 13 or later — universal binary, runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon.

Using it

Paste your text → pick a Mode (Steady / Natural / Max Human) → Start typing → click your target field during the countdown. ESC stops anytime. ⌘1/⌘2/⌘3 switch modes, ⌘K toggles compact, ⌘⇧H humanizes.
