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.

What’s New

Version 3.16

• Added navigation buttons to the title bar to quickly open the previously selected library document (macOS 11 or newer).
• The Markdown Bold and Italic commands now insert opening and closing markdown sequences with placeholder text in between, rather than just the opening or closing sequence.
• Added a new paragraph style that allows to indent the first line of each paragraph.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused a list item to not be indented when pressing the Tab key.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the title bar buttons in the library sidebar to look different than the standard window title bar buttons (macOS 11 or newer). The title bar now always stays visible in non-fullscreen mode while the library is open.

That's what I need.

uFocus is just great. It is like a iaWriter, but this is free. Now I can do my work with full focus. I can't imagine write, without uFocus.
Thanks for the program!

Almost perfect

It would be great if you add an option to work in preview mode. I like the simplicity and I just want to use regular text, bold and italic without any additional *

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your comment. Currently I don‘t have any plans to support editing in preview mode. It would add complexity and move the user‘s focus away from the source text. Perhaps you would be better off working with TextEdit or Pages?

the Best

Simply the best writing app. Some more markudown syntax support would be nice to have.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your report. I would be glad to hear more about what Markdown syntax you would like to see supported, so you are welcome to visit the website and get in touch. Thank you for your time.
