uFocus is a distraction-free writing environment that supports plain text files and allows you to keep them organized inside libraries. It allows everyone to express their creativity in the most simple way. • Unobtrusive interface: the navigation bar disappears while writing. • Swipe to show the sidebar. Here you can link your favorite libraries and quickly access your documents. • Show text statistics including character and word count and reading time. • MultiMarkdown: easily add headings, quotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, italics, bold, footnotes, citations, glossaries and acronyms. You can then export your documents to HTML or PDF. With CriticMarkup and Live Edit Mode you can easily mark removals, additions and substitutions, add highlghts and comments, and accept or reject them. • Fountain: create screenplays with the Markdown-inspired markup syntax and print or export them as PDF with industry-standard formatting. • Highlighting: you can stay even more focused by fading out all the text but the current sentence or paragraph. • Typewriter scrolling: automatically scrolls the text when you get on a new line. • Sound mode: experience the ultimate feeling of a typewriter. • No deletions mode: disable deletions and replacements if your greatest temptation is always to edit your text instead of writing. • Fullscreen: focus on your words and hide everything else. • Choose between three different editor widths, four font sizes and a light, dark, sepia or amber theme, or create your own theme. • Print single files or entire directory hierarchies. If you have any requests, suggestions or bug reports, you're welcome to visit the website through the Support link.

About

Writeflo

Features
Read full description

Writeflo is writing without the backspace. Open a blank screen and start typing. As you write, your older words gently fade out of view so you can't stop to reread, second-guess, or edit. There's only one direction: forward. It's the fastest way past a blank page and an overthinking mind. When you finish, the piece locks. You can't read it again until tomorrow. That little bit of distance means you come back to your own words fresh — sometimes surprised by what you wrote. Why writers love it • Words fade as you type, so perfectionism can't get a grip • Sessions unlock the next day for a fresh read • A different typeface each day keeps the ritual feeling new • Read, export, and share past pieces anytime • 100% on-device and private — your writing never leaves your phone • No accounts, no sign-up, no distractions Whether it's morning pages, journaling, beating writer's block, or just getting the noise out of your head — Writeflo helps you write freely and honestly. Just write. Read it tomorrow.
