A distraction-free markdown editor that aids your focus

What is Markdown?

Markdown was created byJohn Gruberas an easy to read plain text format that allows you to create web based content with no HTML knowledge. The syntax that is used when writing markdown allows you to define the intent of different elements in the markdown document e.g. a # in front of a word indicates that the word is to be formatted and displayed as a Title.

Why use Markdown?

Markdown removes the need to memorise complex HTML tags, and an ever growing number of blogging platforms allow markdown to be used for content creation.

Focused has separated itself from the pack by very intentionally not packing itself full of features that many users won't touch, instead focusing on the pure writing experience as the core element to get right.
