Hey fellow writers. Here is a possibly useful tool

change tracking. Yes, I know I can bring this up on Word, and on my lovely pages, and a few other word processors. So what happens when you work at a place where none should use track changes? It's technical. Well, I found purely by chance a free app today (free for the moment) at the Mac App Store. I am a believer now.

It is called draft control.

Here is the site explaining it.

http://www.draftcontrol.com/

It works like a charm. And my days of trying to remember what changes I made are over for that particular market.

The best part, it also works with markdown and txt files.

On and the requisite I am not associated with the site or anything like that is required. Suffice it to say, I thought it might be useful to more than just a few of you in the Mac arena. Will also xpost to the mac computer side of the house.

Useful tool indeed! I'm in the midst of editing my novel, and this will be most helpful!
