Description
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 title bar only appears when moving the mouse to the top of the window.
• 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.
• 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I need
Thank you for this app! It is brilliant for me! My favourite features are the dark theme and the typwriter sound, as I used to collect typewriters.
Please do not make it too complex, as I love not being distracted by too many features.
However, I would love to be able to move the paragraph at the top of the page and also having bold writing for the title. Maybe there is already a setting for that? Thank you!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your report. Could you please explain what you mean with moving the paragraph to the top and what your scenario is? I'm working on making headings bigger, would this be good for you as opposed to only making them bold? Please consider visiting the website so that we can get in touch and discuss these topics in more detail. Thank you for your time.
Superb writing app - not perfect but pretty close
I really like this app, it's perfect in a lot of ways, with the typewriter-style line scrolling, and user themes, and other options.
The main way I think it could be improved is with more user customisation - like Focuswriter. The ability to do things like specify image backgrounds, or add custom sounds would elevate this app to absolute perfection.

Thank you for your comment. Do you mean custom typewriter sounds, and custom background images? You’re welcome to contact me on the website to get in touch. Thank you for your time.
Can't believe there isn't more reviews.
This is a great app. Does as much as some of the paid for apps and even more sometimes.
Completey distraction free but the best thing for me is the typewriter like quality or simulation. I love this aspect of the app. If this is your thing as well, download and give this a try.
It is free, what is there to lose.
