JustWrite Reviews — Discover what people think of this product.

JustWrite is a ruthless distraction-free writing environment for macOS that locks you in until you hit your goal. Once you start a session, there’s no escape—no Cmd+Tab, no Dock, no Force Quit. You’re sealed in full-screen kiosk mode with nothing but a blinking cursor and your target word count or timer.

Design intense deep-work sessions with time-based sprints or word-count quotas, then let JustWrite enforce them. Activate forward-only writing to disable editing and backspace, so you can’t endlessly tweak sentences instead of finishing drafts. Stay immersed with a focus line that highlights the current line, plus typewriter-style keystroke sounds and a dynamic ambient soundscape that fades when you stop typing, nudging you back into flow.

JustWrite also protects your body while you grind through drafts. Built-in eye-rest reminders, posture checks, and forced, full-screen breaks help prevent burnout by locking you out during recovery windows you can’t skip. Custom themes (including OLED black), adjustable paper width, and optional display of timer, word count, and clock let you shape a writing space that fits your rhythm.

Powered by SwiftUI and deeply integrated with Siri Shortcuts, JustWrite can trigger Focus mode, playlists, logging, and summaries as part of your writing ritual. With a one-time purchase and no subscriptions, it turns your Mac into a commitment device that removes the option to bail—and makes finishing your writing non‑negotiable.
