$12.00 - This wonderful Safari plug-in is just full of yummy features, but one of its coolest capabilties is a fantastic full-screen mode. Plenty of folks love this as their primary writing app, so you definitely don't need my byzantine workflow to simply use and enjoy it. I bought it just for this feature and use it exclusively as a temporary typewriter, pasting into and copying back out into text files. This brilliantly, simply, effectively blots out everything in the world except for my own green letters on a plain black background. But it does succeed in the one way Allan's otherwise swell text editor cruelly refuses to help me: it has an excellent full-screen mode. $24.95 - MacJournal is an okay writing app frankly it doesn't do anything for me that I'm not happier doing right in TextMate using Markdown. Ostensibly there to prevent screen burn-in, I just love that it zaps out the clock and the million other widgets begging a mouse click when I'm at my most distractible. Just mouse in to the menu anywhere and it brightens back up with a subtle "theater lighting" effect. MenuShadeįree - Greatly dims the blaring whiteness of the Menu Bar at the top of your screen. Practically the same as hitting "Hide Others" in most apps, but with the excellent added effect of also hiding that busy little Desktop of yours. Opening it and then switching to another app has the effect of "blacking out" everything on your screen but the foreground app. Backdropįree - Designed as a way to create cleaner screengrabs, Backdrop simply throws up a fullscreen backdrop in the color of your choosing. Has your Mac turned into a shooting gallery full of distractions? Do your eyes spin like pinballs every time you sit down to work? Try a few of these apps to help discourage attention-grabbers and force your sickeningly versatile computer (and yourself) into doing just one thing at a time.
