About this app
Write without distractions. WriteRoom is a full screen writing environment. Unlike the cluttered word processors you're used to, WriteRoom lets you focus on writing. • Fast handling of large documents. • Live word count, reading time, and more. • Shift line up, down, left, and right commands. • Select word, sentence, and paragraph commands. • Automatically log your writing sessions to a spreadsheet. • Use themes to save, switch, and share your favorite settings. • Choose your own background images, paper textures, and typing sounds. REVIEWS “But if, when it comes right down to it, full screen is your r grail, and the ultimate antidote to the bric-a-brac of Word, then you must enter the WriteRoom, the ultimate spartan writing utopia.” — Virginia Heffernan, NYT “Unlike practically everything else in our digital lives, WriteRoom's minimalist interface implies a truly flattering proposition: It's you, not the software, that matters.” — Jeffrey MacIntyre, Slate “WriteRoom’s minimalist interface also frees you from the nagging urge to fiddle with margins, fonts, and other settings, leaving you with nothing to do but write.” — Nathan Alderman, MacWorld “A perfectly balanced, indispensable part of any Mac writer’s toolkit.” — Craig Grannell, Mac Format
