• Laptop with MS word but no internet?

  This is the stuff - https://getcoldturkey.com/writer/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Writing 'software' that gives out an announcement when you're at a total of +1000 words.

  Cold Turkey lets you set a word count (or timer) and blocks all other applications until you've written that many words (or for that amount of time). Source: over 1 year ago

• Resources for the Month Ahead?

  Cold Turkey Writer if I'm having trouble with internet distractions. It won't let you leave the app by any means until you hit your target. No copy and paste to fake it, no checking your email or the weather, no playing solitaire, wasting time on reddit or going down a research rabbit hole. Source: over 1 year ago

• Took a break, now can’t get back into it

  I always bust this out when I'm in a slump, it works like magic: https://getcoldturkey.com/writer/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Need a digital replacement for my journal, but without the ability to do anything other than write.

  Cold Turkey Writer does exactly this in a totally complete and badass way. Your computer won't let you do anything except type on an essentially featureless word processor. It turns your computer into a typewriter. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ensō: write now, edit later

  Reminds me of the (dead) RoughDraft mac app by 43 Folders(?). There is also FocusWriter - opensource and multi-platform. https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• A collection of useful Mac Apps

  FocusWriter - Price: Free Distraction-free writing app for Mac that allows you to focus on your writing. Source: 10 months ago

• What do you people write on?

  You can get it here: https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/. Source: 10 months ago

• Is there an app to keep track of all the details when writing a story?

  Also, if you're kinda of an indie author, try Bibisco or Focuswriter. Source: 11 months ago

• is there a computer that can only run word a processor

  If you have a spare laptop, I recommend just disabling the Internet altogether. But before then, install a program called FocusWriter - it goes full screen. Or instead of the spare computer idea, maybe create a new user account on your computer maybe called Writing, install FocusWriter and have it launch on startup, and disable that account's Internet.
