In the first set of apps by the prolific developer Sindre Sorhus, Allison taught you how to use Dato, Aiko, and Velja. She's back with four more small but powerful apps from Sindre.
Plain Text Editor for Mac, iPad, and iPhone gives you a place to get your thoughts down without distraction of things like formatting.
Online Check simply tells you when your Mac has gone offline, and when it goes back online.
If Dato was too much in a calendar menu bar app, Today might be for you. It only shows you the things on your calendar today.
Any Text will let you create text widgets on your lockscreen or home screen of your Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
This video covers:

I have purchased a few apps from Sindre Sorhus before but these apps presented here had never really appealed to me until I watched this video. Based on this, I just bought Any Text and am likely to purchase Online Check and Plain Text Editor. The tipping point for these purchases was this video which methodically went through all the settings and made me realize how power each one of these apps was. I would have considered Today also except that I had already purchased Sindre's Dato app. Great job of introducing your audience to these apps which could have easily been overlooked as also rans to other apps but they are definitely not that. Clear, concise, and thorough video, once again, makes me glad that I purchased my membership to SCO. Thanks.
I sometimes dump formatted text from other apps into TextEdit to clear everything. Does that also work with Plain Text Editor?

It sure does, David! It’s plain text when pasted of course.
