What is FocusWriter?
FocusWriter is a word processor for concentrating on a draft rather than keeping toolbars on screen. Its controls appear when you move the pointer to the edges of the screen. You can change the font, colors and background image through themes, keep several documents open and use spell-checking while you write.
Live statistics and daily goals help track a writing session. When you reopen the application, it restores your work in progress and your previous position. The Windows page on Softonic also documents timers and alarms, plus support for plain text, Rich Text Format and OpenDocument Text files.
The linked package is the publisher's Windows 10 x64 EXE installer, not the separate portable ZIP. It is not an x86 or ARM64-native package; check your system architecture before choosing this download.
What it offers
- Hide menus and controls until the pointer reaches the screen edges.

- Track live writing statistics and daily goals; use timers and alarms for writing sessions.
