Bean (Software)

Bean is a small and fast text editor with some formatting options, but not nearly as many as in other word processing programs such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer. The aim of the project is not to create an alternative to the large text processing programs, but to provide a functional and fast word processor with good operating system integration for Mac OS X.

Bean can also create PDF files by exporting and has a built-in word counter. Bean is a multilingual version (multilingual) available.

According to a notice on the website in November 2012, the software is no longer being actively developed, but still debugged. Reasons for this are, among others in changes by Apple in Mac OS X.

File Formats

Besides text files bean can files in the universal common Rich Text Format ( RTF) and formatted text with images ( RTFD ) process. In addition, Bean formats * doc. ; * xml.; *. webarchive read and save. In the version for Mac OS X 10.5, it is also possible the newer *. Docx and the OpenOffice.org format to use *. Odt. In addition, Bean offers *. Bean an RTF -like, own format.
