Meet Focused, formally known as Typed - the writing & Markdown app that blocks out distractions and clutter, and aids your focus so you can just write. We firmly believe the typewriter gives you the best writing experience. That's why we've completely re-built Focused from the ground up, typewriter first! Focused has the best typewriter experience on the Mac! “Focused has separated itself from the pack by very intentionally not packing itself full of features that many users won't touch, instead focusing of the pure writing experience as the core element to get right.” — iMore If you’re writing for the web, or quickly outlining longer articles, Focused features a full complement of keyboard shortcuts to both format and structure as you write. Quickly mark headings, Bold & Italics, Add Links - all easily within reach. When you sit down to write, getting in the “zone” as quickly as possible is imperative.

So when creating Focused we carefully studied the ideal environment - and built it. There’s Full Screen as you would expect, and then there’s Zen Mode. Eight carefully selected ambient soundtracks that heighten your focus - from rain to wind and more.

Markdown For Math Symbols

1.5 Mar 17, 2016. Pennieq, Almost Awesome There are things I really like about this. Sleek interface. Problems: - No proper config options.

Want a custom theme? Edit a default in the app bundle lol - Want to reopen your last document by default on launch?

I really enjoy TextMate for programming, and it has excellent Markdown support. However, I wanted a different editor for writing—it helps me focus to separate things. This editor is very promising (and better be, for the price tag), but it needs more functional polish in addition to the visual polish. Edit: I removed my gripe about Smart Quotes turning themselves back on, and upped my review to a 4 from a 3. Apparently that's OSX's fault, as it no longer happens after changing System Preferences (sigh).

So, in actuality, Focused was being cool by grabbing the system-wide settings, and I was annoyed because I didn't realize it's a system-wide setting.

Jc12333, Good, but still some kinks This app has promise, but unfortunately there are still quite a few kinks. From what I can tell, fonts are not working properly at all, it would seem that it only edits the font of the most recent paragraph regardless of how much you have selected, and just behaves eratically in general. Secondly, as far as I can tell the word count is completely broken, which I find rather dissappointing.

Though I love the concept of the app, it fails to deliver on some key aspects that are crucial to even the most minimalist word processor. I find it a great app to keep me focused on writing, but the buyer should beware, this app is still very much a first draft. EDIT: I have discovered that the problems with word count and font inconsistency has to do with starting paragraphs with tabs. Any time you start a paragraph with an indentation it breaks both font and word count. I just thought that this would be useful information for people considering the purchase. It’s a good app, especially when you understand how to avoid the problems within it.
