My favorite software! What's yours?

<< < (50/55) > >>

40hz:
My current hands-down favorite is the oddly named Write Monkey.

From the website:
Zenware for full screen distraction free creative writing. No whistles and bells, just empty screen, you and your words. WriteMonkey is light, fast, and perfectly handy for those who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter but live in modern times.

Write Monkey is a writer's tool.  It comes up as a blank screen that you can type on. But beneath that simple interface there are a host of features just a right click or keystroke away. Mouse or command key - the choice is yours. (F1 brings up the help screen. See below)

(This screenshot shows the fullscreen view reduced to a window. It can be toggled back and forth by hitting ESC F11)




There's even a feature to turn on a typewriter sound for those of us old enough to appreciate the crutch that old clickety-clack provides.

Does not require installation. Just unzip to a pendrive (or the directory of your choice) and get writing.

Darkroom is a similar Windows one based on a mac programme (WriteRoom?)
Darkroom is extremely basic, nice, but a bit buggy with cut/copy n paste so thanks for the tip 40hz :up:
