For Mac users who enjoy the simplicity of a typewriter, but live in the digital world. WriteRoom is a full screen, distraction free, writing environment. Unlike standard word processors that focus on features, WriteRoom is just about you and your text.
What's new in this version:

"Focuses the mind."
Version: WriteRoom 2.3.7
Pros
Minimalist, even to the extent of dealing with files for you, fast and light.
Cons
Could be cheaper; same functionality built into StoryMill which costs twice as much but does about ten times as much if you're looking towards writing character driven prose.
Summary
It's a c.1985 digital typewriter, for your Mac. A great tool for when you want to focus on getting some text onto the screen, without distractions.

"writing with this program will not make your eyes tired"
Version: WriteRoom 2.3.7
Pros
I like the blank dark screen and various format's that it represents.
Cons
it's expensive. but it's worthy.
Summary
I tried many opensource and free programs most of them are not even close to Writeroom!
with help of this program I really could focus just on what I intend to write and after I finished my writing I can save it any format I like. And above all it doesn't make my eyes tired. -
"The only software that helps you focus on writing."
Version: WriteRoom 2.3.7
Pros
Great when you want to focus on writing, without a distraction, excellent when you need those features from complex word processors. above all it supports most common and proprietary format like .doc, .docx and many more.
Cons
It's a bit expensive but the usefulness of the product makes it worthy.
Summary
A genius idea to keep the writer focused on his thoughts and write down his ideas without distraction while having features, options and many functions when you need them.

"This is a joke, right?"
Version: WriteRoom 2.3.7
Pros
Retro-looking display, if you're into that kind of thing.
Cons
Costs 25 bucks, and gives almost nothing in return.
Summary
Look, I understand the appeal of streamlined, even minimalist applications, but this is stupid. 25 bucks for a TextEdit shell that actually removes functionality from the rich text editor that comes included with OS X.
For what? A "distraction-free" display? Just how ADD must you be to get "distracted" by TextEdit? If your are bent on having a retro-looking editing screen, download Bean for free, which gives you that option.
I can't help but think this was intended as a joke by the program author...
