As its name suggests, FocusWriter is a writing tool that submerges you in a distraction-less (or shall I say distraction-free?) environment. It is particularly useful for people who spend long periods of time writing documentations, novels ...
FocusWriter helps you achieve a distraction-free writing experience by using a very simple principle: It hides the interface from you so that you focus solely on the text.
By default, FocusWriter starts in a fullscreen toolbar-less mode. However, you can easily access the toolbar by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen.
Features:
- Txt, basic RDF and ODT support
- Themable interface
- Spell-checking
- Timers, alarms and daily goals
- Detailed statistics
