Plain Text Editor is a minimalist and distraction-free writing app by Sindre Sorhus that focuses purely on text—no formatting, no frills, just your words. It supports editing common plain-text formats like .txt, .csv, and .md, and offers features like optimal line spacing and length, word count, a translucent background, a window-always-on-top option, and a title bar you can hide. Its standout feature, “brain dump mode,” lets you write without deleting or editing, helping you focus on getting ideas down without self-editing distractions. This app is perfect for writers, thinkers, and anyone who needs a simple, serene space to capture thoughts—especially when you value clarity and focus above formatting and styling.
