FocusWriter v1.7.6
billon on 22 Apr 2020 Change history
- 138MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 21 Apr 2020
- Suggested by Pyromaniac
FocusWriter is a full-screen word processor that aims for a distraction-free, immersive way to write and edit. The minimalist interface puts options and tools on the edge of the screen and auto-saves progress. Upon relaunch, the program reloads your last file to make make it easy to jump back into your work.
Alternatively, FocusWriter Portable is stealth and automatically adjusts paths.

AndTheWolf - It's fixed. Some editors keep pointing to static URLs instead of the download page for some reason. So, when it's updated, the download winds up wrong.

I tried this a week or so ago and wasn't really impressed.

I've used this software for quite a while. It is specifically for writing screenplays. So if you want to write a script for your short film or a screenplay contest, this software rocks. It is feature rich. Otherwise if you are looking for something browser related, or a word processor, best to look elsewhere.

darkest: Abiword's image support isn't great. I recommend SoftMaker Office (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1463).

juvera: 2.9.1 is a development test, not a stable release. That's why PortableApps.com has the 2.8.x version listed as primary and then 2.9.x as a test for users to try out. PortableFreeware.com doesn't list development tests. |

Created PDF with Table, and end product resulted in far right of table not shown on PDF even though I justified it to center. |
