Focus

A distraction-free place to write long essays

Focus mode dims everything except the sentence you are writing. Set your own typeface, size and spacing, let auto-save handle the rest, and stay inside the draft until it is finished.

Attention as practice

Slow reading is not a feat of endurance. It is a way of letting a sentence finish becoming itself.

Focus mode dims everything but the current sentence

The paragraph you are writing stays sharp; the rest of the essay fades back. Nothing is hidden and nothing scrolls away — the page simply stops competing with the sentence for your attention.

  • The sentence in progress stays in full contrast
  • The surrounding draft stays on screen, just quieter
  • Toggle it on and off without leaving the editor

Set the page up the way you actually read

Typeface, size, line spacing and paragraph indent are yours to choose, per heading level and for body text, with a live preview beside the controls. A page you are comfortable reading is a page you stay on longer.

  • Choose the typeface and size for headings and body separately
  • Adjust line spacing and paragraph indent to taste
  • Preview the change before it touches the draft

Nothing you have to save, nothing you can lose

Changes are persisted as you type and each save becomes a version. There is no save button to keep half an eye on, and no dialogue asking whether you meant it.

  • Auto-save on every change
  • Every save recorded in the version history
  • Keep writing when the connection drops — the app is installable and works offline

Quiet by default, on every device

Dark mode follows your system or your preference, the browser spell-check squiggle is a toggle rather than a fact of life, and word count, character count and reading time sit out of the way until you look for them.

  • Dark mode built in
  • Turn the spell-check underline on or off per essay
  • Live word, character and reading-time counters

Close the other tabs. This one is quiet.

Open a blank page and write the first paragraph. Everything else in VerbaFlow is designed to get out of the way of the next one.
