As a writer person, I love distraction free writing. My favourite tool is iA Writer.

Not because it's distraction free, but because it has the perfect defaults so I don't feel like tinkering. It also works on all my iDevices and syncs seamlessly, which is a total win when you like writing in random places as soon as there's a few spare minutes.

Now if only there was a Linux client ...

As for this particular project, I don't like that it runs in a browser, which likely means I can't use it when I'm offline ... for instance on a 10 hour train ride like I spent recently.

But I really love the typewriter noises. I have NoisyTyper installed on my laptop and it's marvelous.

+1 for iA Writer. Get it for your iPad or Mac now. http://s831.us/XclFCg
Don't forget for iPhone. Attaching a bluetooth keyboard to your phone feels funny, but it is the single best writing tool when you're travelling.
