Monotype: A Focused Writing Tool That Feels Like a Real Typewriter
Escape the noise of modern writing tools. Monotype is a retro-inspired, offline-first typewriter for your Mac — designed to bring focus, joy, and flow back to your writing.
With purposeful limitations, tactile feedback, and a beautifully simple interface, Monotype makes writing feel good again. No tabs. No formatting. No distractions. Just you and your words, like it used to be.
Whether you’re journaling, drafting a story, or capturing thoughts, Monotype helps you stay present and immersed in the act of writing.
Why Monotype
- Focused writing only — no formatting, no multitasking, just the words in front of you.
- Your attention stays centered — like a real typewriter, the page moves, not your eyes.
- Offline-first by design — no cloud, no tabs, no digital noise.
- A retro-inspired experience — not stark minimalism, but something with character.
- Purposeful constraints — limitations that create space for flow, not friction.
Rediscover the pleasure of writing with a tool built for focus, flow, and fun.
