Plz make the product cheaper… I thought the goal was to encourage writing not chase writers away with the price tags $$$
We know that Freewrite tools are an investment in your writing. We are a very small team working with small manufacturing batches, contributing to the price point. However, our customers find exceptional value in their Freewrite. Writers in the community see their productivity and word count increase by as much as 2-3x. We are constantly looking for ways to support all writers in their practice, and we just released Alpha to that end. We appreciate you taking the opportunity to open a dialogue with us, and we’re honored by your interest in Freewrite. Write on!
This is true. I want it so bad, but that price point isn't doable for everyone!
@@getfreewrite the manufacturing batches would not need to be so small if they were cheaper?
If I was rich, I'd love to biy the typewriter style. I'm not a writer by any means, but my dad gave me his mom's green typewriter when I was in junior high, and I loved it. I typed a little faster than the typewriter could go, but it was a reminder of my Grandma. This is very neat looking, and I thi k you guys have an awesome idea! Ignore the complainers here in the comments, they care about gigantic screens and adding a bunch of crap to your idea. I say, there's people who love the idea of Freewrite and its made specifically for them. Keep up the good work! The products look great!
Thanks for commenting!
Would love an all black matte edition of the traveler like with the Ink Special Edition of the typewriter! I missed out on the ghost edition of the traveler due to budgeting constraints, and I know you won't be bringing it back (though you definitely should with how well it did!)
Great informative video. Colin is the best. He’s answered every single question I’ve ever had about these devices.
Thanks for the kind words! 😊
Perfect video; I had been looking for a sound comparison of the three devices! Thank you! :-)
Glad to help!
Please release a Traveler with wider screen.
Eagerly waiting for my Alpha. 👍
They're here! We start shipping today! 😊
@@getfreewrite Got my email, should be home early next week!
Woohoo! 👏
Why has Alpha worse screen than much cheaper and decades older devices of the same category?
i like the traveler and the hemingwrite. but these are too expensive. for me. i use a alpha neo 2

I'm sure you can do basic text with these. However- what about math equations? Superscript, subscript? Greek / Chinese / other languages?
Do you support LaTeX formatting?
Hi there. The Freewrite lineup is made up of dedicated drafting devices designed to separate the editing from the drafting process and push writers into writing flow. Smart Typewriter and Traveler both have options for many languages. The answers to many questions like these can be found in our expansive Knowledge Base: support.getfreewrite.com/
Very interesting!
What would you write first?
Is there a way to me buy from Brazil? And can I change the keyboard layout for writing in Portuguese too? I'm thinking about buy the Alpha.
Hi there! At the moment, Alpha does not have support for any languages other than English. That is a focus of the development team, but we aren't able to give an estimate of when it might be available. Unfortunately, we are not able to ship to Brazil at this time. We have had some Brazilian customers find third-party solutions, but we aren't able to recommend any. We're honored by your interest in Freewrite and hope to be able to welcome you to the Freewrite Fam one day!
@@getfreewrite Does the smart typewriter have a keyboard with other languages?
Yes, Smart Typewriter and Traveler both have language support, including Portuguese. You can find the full list here: support.getfreewrite.com/article/27-freewrite-keyboard-layouts
I love my Traveler, but considering an Alpha now
Why not both? 🤷♀️
Is there a new version coming out? I would hate to buy this then another one drops
Hi there! We love making special editions of our products. Sign up for our email list to be among the first to hear about them: getfreewrite.com/#EmailSignup
Please release a Traveler with a matte finish!!!
How can you incorporate a photo to the text? I like taking photos and then write something about each. Would buy the Traveler if I can do this. Thanks.
Hi there. None of our devices support images, as they're dedicated drafting tools. However, you could write about the photo on Traveler, and then move that work to your editing software of choice on your computer and add the corresponding photo there. Thanks for commenting!

I love my Smart Typewriter, but I backed the Alpha and got my notice today that they are shipping this week! Looking forward to it, as I was a fan of the Alpha smart, I wanted to go the Alpha route for my portable option. And for me portable sometimes just means using it on the couch instead of the desk, and as a person who's 6'3" I dig the slate layout for comfort.
Awesome! We can't wait to see what you and Alpha create together!
I love my Freewrite Ghost Traveler! I got it earlier this year and just dropped an unboxing and first impressions video on my channel. It's definitely a great portable option, and I recommend it for people who prefer quieter typing experiences. It's even quieter than some of my other low profile keyboards (like my ThinkPad). It's my favorite on-the-go drafting tool to take to the library 😊
That's awesome! 👻 Thanks for letting us know about your video!
What’s the current ship time on the device?
Hi! You can find our shipping info here: getfreewrite.com/pages/shipping-information
I don't have a mechanical keyboard or one that sounds "THOCK" Alpha sounds 'thock' and I am waiting for mine to be delivered.
We can't wait for you to experience Alpha's mechanical keyboard!
A very cool idea, I'm all for this!
Write on! 🙌
Hoow you doing?-Getfreewrite- like it, very nice vlog~have a great day- :))
Who approved of making such a small screen for the flip open version? There's so much wasted space. Seems like a major flaw or a minor inconvenience at best.
Hi there. Freewrite is a dedicated drafting device intentionally designed to reduce distractions, separate the drafting process from the editing process, and help writers reach that flow state. For that reason, the screen isn't designed for lengthy reading, editing, or reviewing, but instead, focus. Users can choose from three different font sizes to help customize how much text is visible on screen. Thanks for commenting.
I have both the Smart Typewriter and the Traveler. I love them so much - they’ve helped my productivity in immeasurable ways. I could go on and on! And now I’m eagerly awaiting my Alpha, for which I just filled out the survey. So… All three! ❤
That's amazing to hear! Thank you so much for sharing. We hope Alpha gets you writing and inspired just as much as Smart Typewriter and Traveler. 😊
@@getfreewriteI have absolutely no doubt it will! :)
Excellent product philosophy. I recommend it for any serious author who needs a distraction free environment for creativity and productivity. There is a sense of soothing calmness to it. A feeling of unstoppable creativity. And there are so many colors and styles to choose from. Thank you.
"Unstoppable creativity" - we love that! Thank you for being part of the Freewrite Fam!
Imagine a hacker device version of this lol
Joli, pratique mais trop cher ! Diviser par 2 oui, j'achète de suite.
I'd love something like the Traveler but with the keyboard of the Alpha (or something similar)
