iA Writer

If you're easily distracted while trying to write — which in 2026 seems like a total non issue right? right?? — then iA Writer is as good as it is going to get for you by way of writing tools.

It offers a shockingly minimalist interface with features like distraction-free mode and syntax highlighting. It uses "writing typography" a concept that emphasizes legibility with custom monospaced and duospaced fonts derived from IBM Plex Mono. Its signature blue cursor and gray background even further enhance focus. It also supports Markdown for text formatting, allowing writers to seamlessly export to multiple formats such as PDF, Word, and HTML.

It's so well designed and such a functional reaction to the massive, ever growing modern problem of modern distraction.
