Launch Zen Writer and start typing away. Write a review for an interesting software application, write a letter for your spouse, write a new chapter for that novel you’ve been working on. Zen Writer lets you type in any text you want, paste in any text you want, change the text size and font, and come up with a table of contents.

Zen Writer is presented as a “meditative text editor” and carries the tagline “only you and your thoughts.” You see, this application does a lot to ensure that you stay focused. It goes full screen so you don’t get distracted, it plays relaxing music in the background, it displays a nice image in the background (also lets you pick a custom image for the background), and it even plays some nice sounds when you type.

Installing Zen Writer on a Windows PC is an effortless task. You will have to complete a standard installation procedure to get Zen Writer up and running on a Windows PC. I remind you that a standard installation procedure goes like this: download an installer; run it; follow the onscreen instructions presented by a setup wizard.

As mentioned above, Zen Writer’s interface goes full screen by default. You can minimize it, but you can’t resize it. And why would you, you don’t want to get distracted from your writing, now do you?

By default, Zen Writer displays the image of a beach in the background. You can change the background image, switch to the image of a foggy forest, a misty morning, or some other interesting image that comes bundled with the software. Of course, you can also pick a custom image and use it as the background.

You can further customize the interface by switching between a Day and Night theme, by adjusting the text size, and by picking a custom text font.

All the visual elements presented above are accompanied by sound – music plays in the background as you think about what to write, sounds effects play when you start to type. You can change the music, you can change the sound effects, and you can turn them off.

Zen Writer is not free, it is only free try. You can evaluate it for a trial period of 15 days.

Zen Writer helps you focus on your writing. It’s designed to keep you from distractions and help you put your thoughts down in writing.

Pros

Installing Zen Writer on a Windows PC is an effortless task. You can customize Zen Writer’s interface by: changing the background image, using the Day or Night theme, adjusting the text size, changing the text format. Music plays in the background, sound effects play when you type; you can change them, you can disable them. By default, the total number of words is displayed at the bottom on the interface; go to the Settings menu and enable other elements to be displayed there.

Cons

Trial limitations: 15-day trial.
