WriteRoom: Free full-screen writing app for OS X
Merlin Mann | Jun 30 2006
O, how we distraction-prone people pine for persistent and ubiquitous full-screen mode. And it looks like the good folks at Hog Bay have come up with an elegant freeware app to help save the beleaguered writer from him or herself.
It's a primitive application, to be sure -- I suspect completely by design -- but it may be just what the doctor ordered if you need to get your head out of your butt and put some words on the page. I can see myself spending a lot of time in WriteRoom. [ via RickP_in_AZ on the board ] 40 Comments

I like the how this application is simple but geeky at the same time. Another dual nature of it I like is it will take all on screen distractions away from me but anyone looking over my shoulder like a client will probably think I'm a lot more techie than I am because it looks like I will be working in a commandline environment like the "hackers" in the movies. LOL! I love how I don't have to autosaving feature. It took me a minute to discover where the files were. I'd like to see the ability to switch between different document via a keyboard shortcut. Maybe their is a way but I just woke up and still have some morning cob webs. (I've yet to see a "cob" in the wild however) » POSTED IN:
