Distraction-free writing for macOS
Your Writing.
No Escape.
The writing app that locks you in until you hit your goal. No other apps. No notifications. No way out.
The cursor blinks. No notifications. No tabs to switch to. No escape routes.
Just you and the words. The way it should be.

How It Works
Four steps. Zero friction.
Set Your Goal
Choose a time limit or word count target. You decide what done looks like.
Press Start
JustWrite enters fullscreen kiosk mode. All escape routes are now sealed.
Write
No Cmd+Tab. No force quit. No distractions. You write until you're done.
Finish
Hit your goal. Copy your work or save it. Feel the accomplishment.
Features That Force Focus
Every feature exists to keep you writing.
Unbreakable Kiosk Mode
Full kiosk mode locks you in. Keyboard shortcuts disabled. Dock hidden. No window controls.
Forward-Only Writing
Disable editing mode and backspace stops working. Arrow keys? Gone. You can only move forward.
Flexible Goals
Time-based for writing sprints. Word-based for daily quotas. Set targets that match your workflow.
Focus Line
Highlights the line you're currently writing. Stay in the flow without losing your place.
Typewriter Sounds
Authentic mechanical feedback on every keystroke. Special sounds for Enter, Space, and Backspace.
Native macOS App
Built with SwiftUI for macOS 14+. Not an Electron app. Not a web wrapper. A real Mac app.
Wellness
We Protect Your Health Too
Writing marathons shouldn't wreck your body.
Rest Your Eyes
Reminders to look away from the screen.
Posture Check
Nudges to straighten up and relax.
Forced Breaks
Full-screen countdown. No escape.
Breaks You Can't Cheat
When break time hits, JustWrite locks you out completely.
Step away from the screen.
Customization
Your Space. Your Rules.
Locked in doesn't mean locked down.
Four Themes
Auto follows your system. Light for day. Dark for night. OLED for pure black.
Paper Width
Narrow for focus. Wide for sprawling thoughts.
Display Options
Show or hide the timer, word count, and clock.
Siri Shortcuts
Automate your writing ritual.
Audio
Your Personal Soundscape
Layer multiple ambient sounds. Each with its own volume.
Typewriter Sounds
Every keystroke clicks. Special sounds for Enter, Space, and Backspace.
Momentum System
Sound Fades When You Stop
Ambient sounds respond to your typing. Keep writing and the soundscape stays alive. Stop typing, and it gently fades to silence.
What Other Apps Don't Have
Every "distraction-free" app lets you leave whenever you want.
The Philosophy
Most productivity tools trust you to stay disciplined.
JustWrite doesn't.
This isn't about willpower. It's about removing the option to fail.
