Grandview Offers Multiple Methods of Distraction-Free Writing [Mac Downloads]

OS X: There are numerous distractions on your computer and none of them make it easy to write. Like many distraction-free writing apps, Grandview takes over the entire screen to block them all out. The difference is that in addition to being able to see all the text you write, it can also show you one word at a time so you're simply writing in free-form and not worrying about anything you said before.

This idea might seem a little strange to some. It feels awkward at first but you'll start to see the appeal after typing. Basically, if you have a tendency to edit while you write you'll find this feature very useful because it will prevent you from stopping in the middle of a sentence and considering if it's any good. Instead, you'll keep writing because you can't look back and see what you put down on paper. When you finish a sentence you'll get a chance to look at the entire thing and make sure there are no typos, but once you hit the space bar you'll move back into single-word mode for fewer distractions.

Of course, if you completely hate this idea and just want a free full screen, distraction-free writing app, Grandview can do that as well. You can also use both features together, toggling out of single-word mode to see your entire document at any time. When you're finished, you can copy the text you've written and move it into any other app. Alternatively, you can open text files and work on those directly in Grandview. While the app has its leanings about how it wants you to work, it's very flexible so you can use it the way you want.
