Comments and Reviews
Don't fall for this. It's an AI reseller disguised as a writing tool. Free to use the poor quality editor, nags you about using the AI features which require subscription.
If you want to use AI within an editor, Obsidian has amazing plugins for that to use directly with your OpenAI account or even a local AI. So yeah, Shy Editor is a scam.
Shy Editor has become my go-to writing app. Fast, convenient, and very feature-rich.
