WriteRoom - An App Review

Whoa, it's dark in here. Hello? Is anybody out there?

I feel like I am typing in the great vacuum of space, or maybe it's just that I have miraculously been whisked away from all exposure to any possible distraction that might keep my mind from realizing what my eyes are seeing: there is absolutely nothing on my screen but what I am currently typing.

That's right, there is no mail icon displaying how many spam messages I need to go delete, no iChat badge telling me that someone is lol and rotfl-ing, in fact there isn't even a dock at all or a menu bar. The ever-present Apple logo has vanished from the upper left corner of my screen! You kind of need to see this to believe it. If I didn't know any better, I would think I downgraded my computer a couple decades to the days of command prompts and that steady blinking text block quietly reminding me to share with him my thoughts.

I do know better, however, because I am the one who launched WriteRoom; a cool little app from HogBay Software. This software aims to keep you focused on the task at hand, and that it does, ladies and gentlemen. That it does.

I can feel the productivity coursing through my veins. There really are no other words I can use to describe the rare feeling of typing in a vacuum. . . you just have to check it out for yourself. Enjoy!
