- Byword: Writing in Isolation Like many people, I need simplicity and focus to do things well. Despite the crowded appearance of this blog, I write most of my posts in isolation, in both senses of the term: without interruptions (usually behind a closed door, and often with earplugs) and without too much thinking about the other posts I’ve.

USERS SAID
'.. WriteMonkey actually has rather a lot of features but they are all ones that I really like or need. In fact, WriteMonkey has almost every feature from Scrivener that I require and that from me is high praise indeed ..'

'.. I use WriteMonkey to get a distraction-free draft out of me, since it doesn’t even tell me if I have misspelled something. I have also set it to make a clicking sound as I type, so I have come to associate that sound with productivity and type faster ..'
'.. We've used WriteMonkey for years now, and its minimalist look actually helps reduce distractions, though the draggable minimized window might be better suited for everyday use like note-taking. For us, its intuitive features and Zen-like purity keeps WriteMonkey always on top.'

Maybe the best distraction-free, full-screen, 'zen' text editor you'll find for free, WriteMonkey has lots of nice bells for the serious writer. This includes an infobar you can customize to show document info, or just hit a key to get all the stats on your work. You can set a constant position for your work cursor, so you never hit the bottom of the page.

'.. A further extreme, applicable to writers: use a word processor that's built exclusively around that kind of streamlined typewriter interface. My favorite such Windows app is WriteMonkey. For MacOS, it's WriteRoom, from Hog Bay Software ..'

'.. of all the Windows apps I used wm has the most personality ..'

With every new version conventional word processors like Microsoft Word gain more and more features, bells and jingles nearly nobody will ever need, while disregarding the needs of creative writers. When I am writing, all there has to be is me, a blank screen, my words and the current wordcount. No fancy toolbars, colorful buttons, floating windows or other useless distractions from the things that really count.
WriteMonkey closes the gap between simple editors like DarkRoom and full fledged word processors. Zip expert 1 0 – extract create archive files. It is fully customizable to meet the needs of any writer while maintaining a simple, clear user interface. WriteMonkey is my first choice for writing novels and can be absolutely recommended.

.. The application is deceptively simple. The preferences reveal a huge amount of features such as text replacement shortcuts web look-ups of selected text, scratch repository and dynamic Markdown shortcuts. This application is a phenomenal implementation of a simple Markdown editor ..
