FocusWriter
is another writing environment allowing the user to stay focused when working
on a text. Its unique feature is the “hiding” interface that the user can make
visible by mousing to the top of the screen. Thus, the app is somewhat similar
to the Focus View mode offered by the MS Word program. However, FocusWriter is
quite more useful because, oppositely to MS Word, it optimizes not only the
reading experience, but also the writing one.
In
addition to the practical interface, FocusWriter includes a timer and statistics
for tracking the writing progress, easy-to-adjust themes, and the auto-saving
option. FocusWriter is multiplatform. It also supports various document types
and various languages (including Russian – yay!).
FocusWriter
would be a great tool for those people who would like to immerse themselves as
much as possible in their work. The great news is that it is cheap – only $5 “donation-money”
for the whole app. Here, "donation" means that if you prefer not to pay for the app, you can get it for free.

Varby, this is a brilliant piece of software! Thank you so much for sharing this. Like many writers, I've found that the computer holds a lot of options for procrastination. This is the kind of isolation I could definitely use while writing.
