Spur: Minimalist Writing App

A clean, distraction-free writing app for Mac that helps you focus on your writing, removing distractions with a simple text editor and word count.

What is Spur?

Spur is a minimalist writing application for Mac designed to help authors focus on their writing by eliminating distractions. It features a clean, distraction-free interface consisting only of a text editor and word count display.

With Spur, there are no fonts, formats, or layout options to fiddle with - it's strictly plain text. This allows writers to concentrate on the words themselves rather than formatting. Spur also lacks internet connectivity and social media integration, removing potential online distractions.

By paring away extraneous features, Spur aims to provide a zen-like writing environment. Its text editor includes expected features like search and replace and export to various formats. But it omits extended formatting options in favor of keyboard shortcuts to do basic styling like bold, italics, and headers.

In addition to its minimalist editor, Spur offers a Focus Mode that highlights one sentence at a time to eliminate distraction from other parts of the text. It also includes target word count goals and statistics to help motivate and track progress.

Overall, Spur strives to create the cleanest, distraction-free writing software possible to help writers focus solely on their words and ideas during the drafting process.
