Write It Down for Mac

A native Mac writing room. Pick a session from one to thirty minutes and write forward. Deleting, pasting, cutting, and undo are blocked. Stop typing for too long and the draft is deleted. Reach the end of the clock and the text is yours to copy. Nothing is saved to disk or uploaded.
