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

 Me, I just use Ulysses...Submitted by Papilionoidea (not verified) on July 2, 2006 - 12:21pm.
Me, I just use Ulysses (mac only, previously mentioned). It's got all the the stuff one needs for a contented orientated binge of creatvity and i look at things this way, instead of blocking everything: how about just quiting all the programs that could distract you, disconnect the internet a while and start doing stuff for as long as you feel like it. I find it a sad state of being that there is a market for an app that forces all distraction out when it would be easier to just make oneself unavailable to them by disconnecting as long as it takes. it's a matter of practice. Like any GTD activity. » POSTED IN:
