Flowstate: text editor for Mac and iOS, which will force you to write

If there is a contest for the title of the layfhakera lazy, I'm sure I would have taken one of the prizes. As any of you, I always lack the motivation, because my work is connected with texts, then, to paraphrase, we can say that I do not have a good kick, forced to write. But I still found an effective tool and want to share it with you.

Everyone has heard, and certainly tried different Zen Editors with a minimalist interface, pleasant background Muzychka and all sorts of distraction-free-pieces. I can confidently say that their approach does not work for real slackers who are not proberosh nothing. For such needs pozhostche measures.

Appendix Flowstate professes a completely different philosophy and change the carrot on the stick. To get you to write, it just takes and removes all typed text, if within five seconds you are not doing anything. Hard? Yes! But effectively. This article I wrote with the help of Flowstate and spent it in much less time than usual.

Works is very simple: select the length of the working session (5 to 60 minutes), font style (five headsets to choose from) and start writing. Once the timer is started, you will have no choice but to bring the work to the end. Stop, and the text immediately begin to fade and disappear after five seconds. Can not survive until the timer runs. Copy the text is also impossible: the option of copying does not work. The only option - write.

After the completion of the text of the session is automatically saved and will appear in the note list. There you can edit, change the font, vorstku, export using the standard menu "Share" or simply copy and paste where you want. Settings like those of Flowstate not, has a collate option, a good reference, which describes the philosophy of the application, and, in fact, everything.

iOS-version has the same functionality and allows you to do the same things with the same ease. If you have an external keyboard, the iPad automatically turns into a killer tool for writing text. The main advantage is to synchronize documents, working almost seamlessly: everything you write on the Mac, instantly appear on your iPad and iPhone.

Recommend Flowstate can not only chronic idlers, prokrastiniruyuschim for days on end and constantly sabotaging deadlines, but also quite common for users who just sometimes need a "magic Pendel." For all its strangeness, this approach works.

What to Flowstate prices, then to the desktop version have no complaints: it costs as all other text editors for the Mac. But the price of the app for iOS might be a bit less.
