WriteMonkey - Distraction-Free Writing Tool
Enhance Your Focus with WriteMonkey
Do you find yourself easily losing concentration during writing sessions? Perhaps a tool to promote focus is what you require. WriteMonkey could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Please note: This application necessitates the presence of .Net Framework 3.5 or a later version.
Installation Process
Upon downloading WriteMonkey, you must extract the included files. These components should then be placed within a “Program Files” directory. Finally, create a shortcut to the “WriteMonkey.exe” file to launch the application. Are you prepared for a distraction-free writing experience?
WriteMonkey in Use
Each time you initiate WriteMonkey, the application will fully obscure the screen, presenting only your writing space. This design is intended to minimize distractions and maximize concentration.
As illustrated, the writing area is subtly delineated at the corners with small, dash-shaped markers. The dimensions of this area, along with line spacing and margins, can be customized within the application’s options.
Alternatively, WriteMonkey can be operated within a standard window. This allows for quick transitions between your writing and other applications if needed.
Personalization Options
Do you prefer a more conventional word processing aesthetic? WriteMonkey allows you to adjust the colors and fonts to your preferences. You can also create unique and inspiring themes.
For those seeking spontaneity, the “Try luck” feature will generate a random color scheme.
Accessing the Menu
While in full-screen mode, the menu system can be accessed by simply right-clicking anywhere on the screen.
Here’s a detailed view of the menu options…
Saving Your Work
When you save your work, it will be stored as a “.txt” file. Currently, this is the only supported file format for WriteMonkey. Observe that the filename includes a “wm_” prefix…
In Conclusion
While WriteMonkey may not possess the extensive features of more complex word processors, it excels at a single, crucial task: facilitating focused writing by eliminating distractions from other applications.
