It's so close and has so many good features, that if you think you can figure out how to install a dictionary (or don't mind going without one), then Focuswriter might be for you. Overall, the exclusion of a dictionary keeps me from recommending Focuswriter. Certain configuration options are hidden in the themes area, which threw me for awhile, too. I also wish that FW came with a little documentation to explain things like sessions and the scene list.
I like the daily goal word counter, I like the writing timer, though I wish the latter had a little more polish, like hot keys to start it and stop it. They do help to set a mood, and keep things fresh. Speaking of themes I like them, but they're something of a distraction, which is what FW is supposed to be minimizing. I keep having to navigate to the same folders again and again, because FW doesn't allow me to customize my save or theme locations. I figured it out, but less savvy users may be stumped. The developer's website offers a link to where to get a dictionary, but not how to install it. A dictionary is not included with FW (v1.4.1 at least) so there's no spell check.
#FOCUSWRITER TUMBLR PORTABLE#
I really like portable software, but that fact is going to throw off less geeky users. Here are a few things to keep in mind about Focuswriter: First, Focuswriter has no installer. Standalone software, no installation required. Other features include as-you-type spell checking, tabs to switch between multiple documents, auto-saving and session support. The program autosaves your progress, and reloads the last files you had open to make it easy to jump back in during your next writing session, and has many other features that make it such that only one thing matters: your writing. FocusWriter also includes productivity features that allow you to set daily goals and view live statistics about your progress (word count, page count etc.). FocusWriter is a fullscreen, distraction-free word processor designed to immerse you as much as possible in your work. The toolbar, which provides access to common word processing features, will hide out of the way while you are writing and only appear when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen, leaving you with nothing but your text to focus on.
You can create multiple, completely personalized work environments by using background images, colors and font types of your choice, thereby creating an ambiance to inspire your imagination. Distraction-free word processor for writersįocusWriter is a full-screen word processor, designed to provide a highly customizable, distraction-free work environment that allows you to focus on your writing.
