What is Bean?

Bean is a compact and straightforward word processor that simplifies the writing process. It starts up quickly, providing a live word count and an uncluttered interface that is easy on the eyes. While it lacks certain advanced features like footnotes and full compatibility with Microsoft Word's file formats, Bean offers a range of practical tools to enhance productivity. Users can create template documents, customize headers and footers, and toggle between different color schemes, including a dark mode. The split-window editing and full-screen focus mode allow writers to immerse themselves in their work, while the find panel with regular expressions and word completion features facilitate efficient text manipulation. Additionally, Bean generates date-stamped backups, ensuring that users can easily retrieve previous versions of their documents
