Geek Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/distraction-free-writing.jpg" alt="distraction free writing" title="distraction free writing" width="610" height="371" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8206" /></p> <p>Sometimes the hardest thing about writing is remaining focused, which is increasingly difficult in the digital world of mass distractions. Using distraction free writing software can really help eliminate the interruptions that exist elsewhere on your computer, and the open source FocusWriter fits this bill nicely.</p> <p>FocusWriter is a full-screen distraction free writing space that has a lot of great features including autosaving, spell checking, live statistics on character and word count, and goal tracking. The entire interface is customizable and the rest remains hidden away unless you mouse over portions of the screen to access things like document tabs, saving, find and replace, goals, and the scrollbar. </p> <p>FocusWriter is a free download, open source, and cross-platform compatible. There are Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows versions <a href="http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/">available to download at the developers site</a>.</p> <p>We have covered <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2007/02/27/writeroom-distraction-free-writing-space/">WriteRoom</a> in the past which is another solution, but since version 1.0 the developer started charging for it.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DdoWEg3XrmNyFd4gbfcfvtyOfHM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DdoWEg3XrmNyFd4gbfcfvtyOfHM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DdoWEg3XrmNyFd4gbfcfvtyOfHM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/DdoWEg3XrmNyFd4gbfcfvtyOfHM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=08WYnBYEMzg:G5BD32FcL0Y:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/08WYnBYEMzg" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
