Thinktype works a lot like notational velocity (write and search at the same time), but it's actually even easoer because it doesn't have titles. You can write the entire note from the searchfield. (I'm comparing it to a web app inspired by notational velocity here[1], never used the original because I don't have a mac.) [1]: https://notational.co/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

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.
