Writemonkey is a powerful yet lightweight text editor designed to help writers stay focused. It has been around since 2007, and it offers many features aimed at improving productivity and creativity. It can be used for writing articles, novels, scripts, and more. Version 3 moves Write Monkey fr a Windows-only application to one that supports Windows, Mac and Linux.

The program includes a stripped down distraction-free interface with customizable themes, templates for different types of writing projects, and an "autosave" feature that ensures your work is always backed up. It also has a wealth of tools to help you stay organized, such as a built-in word counter and daily word goal tracker.

When it comes to creative freedom, Writemonkey offers plenty of options. It supports multiple documents so that you can work on multiple projects simultaneously. It also has a unique "transparent mode" that allows you to work with a blank canvas and quickly switch between projects while still being able to see what you were working on previously.

Version 2.x only ran on Windows. Version 3.x is an entirely new code base that runs on the big three operating systems.

Writemonkey is a portable app, so you download the zipped file and extra it to where you want it without having to install anything.

You open the folder and click the file 'nw.exe' to run the program. That's a bit weird the .exe isn't named something like WriteMonkey.exe - but it is what it is.
