Ghostwriter is a distraction-free markdown text editor and document processor. It provides a focused writing environment for composing documents using markdown syntax, separating the drafting process from final formatting.
The application features a minimalist interface designed to minimize visual clutter, including the ability to disable deletion keys to enforce a forward-only drafting flow. It includes a live statistics dashboard for tracking word counts and session metrics, as well as visual highlighting that fades non-active text to focus attention on the current line, sentence, or paragraph.
The tool supports technical writing workflows through the rendering of mathematical equations, tables, and footnotes. It provides real-time HTML previews and integrates with external conversion engines to export documents into various final formats.
Additional capabilities include a sidebar for document structure navigation, automatic character matching, automated file backups, and visual theme customization.
