LofiWriter
Focused writing · draft management
A focused writing app for fiction, blog drafts and everyday notes. Keep your work in local Markdown or text files, with autosave and revision history to help you pick up where you left off. Choose the display effects and music you want, or open up the writing surface.
Purchase options →Write, navigate and revise
Divide a long draft with headings and jump between sections from the outline. Search for a passage, save a snapshot before a rewrite and compare it with your current draft. The full edition lets you open and switch between multiple manuscripts. Ordinary Markdown and text files also work in other editors.
Choose your screen and sound
Pick Black & Gray, Green Terminal, Amber, DOS Blue or Paper. Adjust or disable the CRT frame, scanlines and glass effects. The offline radio includes 12 tracks, an instrumental-only option and separate typing-sound volume. Hide the music panel with Player while playback continues.
