About

=====

FocusWriter is a simple, distraction-free word processor. It utilizes a

hide-away interface that you access by moving your mouse to the edges of

the screen, allowing the program to have a familiar look and feel to it

while still getting out of the way so that you can immerse yourself in

your work.

FocusWriter allows you to customize your environment by creating themes

that control the font, colors, and background image to add ambiance. It

also features on-the-fly updating statistics, daily goals, multiple open

documents, spell-checking, and much more.

Additionally, when you open the program your current work in progress will

automatically load and position you where you last left off so that you

can immediately jump back in.

Portable Mode

=============

Create a folder named "Data" in the same folder as the executable

(the application bundle if using macOS) to run this program from a

USB drive. Simply rename or delete the "Data" folder if you later decide

you want it to start storing its settings and related files on the host

computer.

If you have already been using FocusWriter and would like to migrate its

themes to a USB drive, you will need to copy the "Themes" folder into the

newly created "Data" folder. The "Themes" folder is located in one of the

following places:

  Linux:

    ~/.local/share/GottCode/FocusWriter

  macOS:

    ~/Library/Application Support/GottCode/FocusWriter

  Windows:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\GottCode\FocusWriter
