Focus Mode

Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence, helping you stay in the flow, get words out, and avoid the temptation to edit. Together with Full Screen it gives you laser focus.

Activate Focus Mode in iA Writer for Mac using the Focus switch (bottom left), View Enter Focus Mode, or Command-D.

Exit Focus Mode

Once you start typing all chrome fades away — move the pointer over hidden chrome to make it reappear.
