distraction-free word processor for writers FocusWriter is a full-screen word processor, designed to provide a highly customizable, distraction-free work environment that allows you to focus on your writing. You can create multiple, completely personalized work environments by using background images, colors and font types of your choice, thereby creating an ambiance to inspire your imagination. The toolbar, which provides access to common word processing features, will hide out of the way while you are writing and only appear when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen, leaving you with nothing but your text to focus on. FocusWriter also includes productivity features that allow you to set daily goals and view live statistics about your progress (word count, page count etc.). Other features include as-you-type spell checking, tabs to switch between multiple documents, auto-saving and session support. Standalone software, no installation required.

Didn't want it 5 stars by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)
I didn't want to try this at first, thinking just another plain old document writer but I have to admit, it's great! You can customize color, font, image, no image, etc... which makes whatever is easier on your eyes to work with your choice. The menu bar is hidden and drops down from the top of screen so it doesn't get in the way. There are no needless ruler lines, etc... just you and the page. The thought behind this was simple, yet extremely useful and the next time I do some writing, it's going to be using this. Great work author! showShow review details
Here it is! 5 stars by JMMannion (Read all my 25 reviews)
Now this word processor is just the best from my point of view. It reminds me of the old Word Perfect DOS on which I wrote thousands of words. Absolutely no clutter, just you, the page and the soft typewriter sound (if you chose to use it). It is like using a pen and stationery. It really takes no time at all to like, open the program, move the mouse cursor to the top, or bottom of the screen to access the controls and in a few moments you will be up and running, just you and your thoughts. It is great, just absolutely great. J Mannion showShow review details
