We were looking out for an option to Microsoft Word for a distraction-free writing writing experience. Much to our pleasant suprise, we found quite a few. But that one that caught our eye was WriteMonkey.

Writemonkey is a Windows writing application with an extremely stripped down user interface, leaving you alone with your thoughts and your words. It is light, fast and free. With an array of innovative tools under the hood and full Markdown* support, it helps you write better.

Our favourite part is the splash screen, which has Monkey’s pearls of wisdom. A perfect to begin the writing process if you ask us!
