Stay focused

There are many apps for macos and IOS, such as Ommwriter, that are designed to allow you to create the perfect interface for your writing and once you are familiar with the setup your writing will likely improve. Some offer a full experience including background sounds and you can also select from different themes to suit your mood, or indeed the plot of your novel.

The main panel

Most focused writing apps let you manage the displayed font exactly as you want it to be. Multiple font options will be available alongside sizing and even the way the page is laid out can be customised.

Silence is golden?

We are all different and some people prefer complete silence when writing while others need some background noise. Apps like Write offer a middle grown with pleasant background audio available in a variety of different styles.

Keep the features

You do not need to dispense with all of the standard features when using a minimalist writing app. Most apps offer the ability to keep some onscreen in a minimal way such as word and character counts.

Choose your theme

It may surprise you just how effective the right theme can be when you are trying to knuckle down and get your thoughts out there. Over time the familiarity will actually help you to come up with new ideas.
