Lovely UI and whatnot. However, it crashed within the first HOUR of using it. Not a good look. I've dealt with more horrendous, unintuitive text editors, but they atleast don't crash. Further, the typewriting sound is a bit glitchy at times, which is something I could forgive if not for its crashes. Perhaps the glitchy sounds were hinting at its instability. I should have heeded its warning.
I have to update my review as I found the options for double spacing and first line indent! This is awesome! Okay, that being said I would like the option for both Double Spacing and First Line Indent to not be theme specific and allow for on-the-fly selection. Thanks!
Flexible, Stable, Powerful (in a way of Minimalism) = Helpful! Perfect for me right now.
Editor senzill, permet escriure sense distraccions, com diu. I això de la màquina d'escriure és una meravella.
Im loving Focuswriter. It's doing exactly what is says it will - helps me focus on my writing. The typing sound is fun but it's also a good focusing tool. It reminds me that I'm writing. Linux has made me love computers again.It's given me back control over my computer instead of the computer controlling me. Thanks.
I like the preinstalled designs and the user-defined option. But I couldn't find any option for simple text editing or "zooming". I know, you don't need all that stuff for distraction free writing, but a marker and most of all an option to toggle the size of the text field is what I am missing. Maybe the option is there somewhere, but even if, it should be easy to find.
Pick from one of Beautiful Background Themes and then add a typewriter sound and your set for writing. works, sounds and looks great.
Lightweight, easy to use, suitable for intensive writing. The ability to turn on typewriter sounds is wonderful.
This is wonderful to use when I write my book drafts. I like creating background themes related to my work. Thanks!
Very light and simple. Looks good. Nice choise for basic text files. If interested it's available for all platforms. No public key or fingerprint though... Makes me wonder why.
Minimalist design. Simple and useful. As the name says Best for Focus writing!
I use this all the time. It's really nice. I like the clickety-clack typewriter sound. The interface is a little confusing at first. The right background is inspiring but the colors are extremely important.
