Nice but with issues
Writing stats, word count not immediately shown. Have to tab away from app and back to see the refreshed count. Clearly inspired by IA Writer though it’s a watered down version of it. I hope you can develop this app to work seamlessly. Still a way to go.

Great app! One issue
Love this so far! My one issue is when writing in fountain on iPad the text does not center on screen (it starts at the top, works to the bottom, then you’re typing at the very bottom of the screen forever) making it nearly impossible to write in this format

Nice viewer with quick-look preview, but ..
.. this tool seems to have a "beep" mode, like "vi" has. I don’t know how it can be disabled, so it’s only a nice previewer in combination with quick-look.
What I do to enable beep mode: I double-click an existing .md file in my repo and the program will load it in beep mode. The menu bar doesn’t reveal how to disable it. Well, that’s not what I have expected.
I’ll keep the program for a while and look what news some updates might introduce. Until then TextEdit will do better, since files are EDITABLE.
If the beep mode can be disabled one day, it’ll get’s my 5 stars.

Response from developer
Thank you for your comment. I don’t know what you mean with “repo”, but uFocus is a text editor and of course supports editing. Perhaps it’s easier to find out what the issue is by contacting me on the website and sending more detailed reproduction steps and perhaps even a video. Thank you for your time.
Nice but
Can’t get the toolbar to show up in the editor, tried the gestures you mentioned in the app they’re still hidden. No way to contact you through the app and the app support link on your webpage is down so writing it here.

Best Free Writing App I Have Found!
Now, I am not usually the type who writes reviews—in fact this is my first review I have ever written for an app. This app has honestly changed my writing for the better, and I felt it deserved a review. Before I downloaded uFocus, I would write in Apple Pages and constantly try to ignore my highly distracting Grammarly edit bubble. I would draft once, and then edit in the same document. However, I was wanting a tool to help me write faster and without distractions. I considered Freewrite but didn’t have the budget to buy one. Then I found uFocus. The app is extremely plain and small. Utilizing .txt files, my longest documents are still no more than 50 KB, compared to the 300+ KB that the same document is in Pages. The interface is easy to navigate, and if you want to work with bold and italics, there are keys to use them. I use uFocus for all of my first drafts (the typewriter sounds keep me going), then edit them in Pages later. For a free writing app, I cannot recommend more highly uFocus.
Update: Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I discovered the Markdown (.md) files, which have improved dramatically my ability to create ordered notes.
