For Mac users who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter, but live in the digital world. WriteRoom is a full screen, distraction free, writing environment.
Unlike standard word processors that focus on features, WriteRoom is just about you and your text.
Completly freeware for personal use.
NOTE: To buy WriteRoom via the AppStore an Apple account is required.
Here are some key features of "WriteRoom":
Full-screen editing:
· Get free from your computer and its distractions. WriteRoom's full-screen mode hides it all away leaving just you and your text behind.
Document based auto-save :
· Your documents are stored in standard text file formats and autosaved in the background to help protect your work in case the power goes out.
Distraction free features:
· The menu bar, scroll bar, and word count appear when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen.
'Retro'-fit your cursor:
· Prefer block cursors to bars? Hate blinking cursors? WriteRoom has every combination you'd want.
Standalone or Edit-In:
· Use WriteRoom on its own for all your text editing needs, or let WriteRoom be your ticket to full-screen editing for text in any compatible program.
Limitations:
· Nag screen
