Bean for Mac Free download

Edit By BS Editor: Bean is lean, fast, and uncluttered. If you Get depressed at the thought of firing up MS Word or OpenOffice, try Bean.

If you use Text Edit but have to Jump through hoops just to get a word count or change the margins, try Bean.

If you're pining away for Write Now-esque simplicity or just want a low-pressure writing environment, try Bean.Features:
A live word count
A Get Info panel for in-depth Statistics
A zoom-slider to easily change the view scale
An Inspector panel with lots of sliders
Date-stamped backups
Autosaving
A page layout mode
An alternate colors option (e.g., white text on blue)
An option to show invisible characters (tabs, returns, spaces)
Selection of text by text style, paragraph style, color, etc.
A floating windows option (like Stickies has)
Easy to use menus
Remembers cursor postion (excluding .txt, .html, .webarchive formats)
All of Cocoa's good stuff (dictionary, word completion, etc.)
Please keep in mind that Bean is betaware
