“FocusWriter: FocusWriter is a simple, distraction-free writing
environment available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The open
source application takes away all the distractions letting you
focus just on the writing. Though a minimalistic application,
FocusWriter does come packed with a lot of powerful features. The
free application has all the essential features you’d want from a
word processor; for example, spell checking, auto-save, sessions,
multi-document support, basic formatting, search and more.”
