This application is a distraction preventing tool for writers. This is a blunt writing application that you could launch instantly and write. With less than 2MB in memory, WriteMonkey is a virtual typewriter that you can use to write without being bugged of italics, bold, wrong spelling prompts and more. Although it requires .Net Framework before it could be used, downloading the framework for this application could be worth it.

The interface of WriteMonkey is very unique. Instead of the interface that you see on MS Office or OpenOffice, the interface is pretty simple. It has a DOS-Like background and the fonts almost look like DOS but could be customized. The choices of fonts are little bit limited but they are geared towards faster writing and easy reading. On the right side of the application you’ll see the first sentences of each paragraph that you have written. They also serve as shortcuts so that you’ll be able to access the paragraph without any problem.

Running the application is very easy. Since it’s very lightweight, you’ll never have any trouble launching the application. Writing is also very encouraging since you will never be distracted.

There are other simple document creators that you can choose aside from WriteMonkey. But what makes this application different is that you can minimize the window. The full screen mode is highly recommended but if you’re researching while writing, the windowed mode is very useful. You don’t even need to install the application. Just click on the .exe file and the application will run.
