WriteRoom – Distraction free writing space

WriteRoom is founded on a great idea that is hard to find nowadays in the computing world, a distraction free workspace that emphasizes nothing but the task at hand. In this case, the task is writing, which WriteRoom allows you to do easily. There are few frills other than what you absolutely must need to write, so don’t expect Microsoft Word. The WriteRoom workspace is attractively presented in a simple retro green on black terminal-like appearance, although you can change the color scheme to whatever you want. Check out the screenshot below.

Besides the color scheme, you can also customize the width and height of the writing space, so if you prefer the genuine full screen console appearance it’s just a matter of setting the workspace to the width of your display.

We are actually going to suggest WriteRoom 1.0, because it is free (the price we prefer). Version 2.0 might have a few more features, but for us they aren’t enough to justify the $25 price.
