I am writing this in an app called Focused, available on Setapp. It says that it’s a tool that helps you write without distractions and unnecesary features. But distractions are inherent to a machine like this, a MacBook that connects to the internet through a thousand different apps. I want to set up the MacBook so it only works like a typewriter (yes, @chrisaldrich, this is your fault), no internet connection and only one app for writing. I should be able to combine Focused with another one that has a very similar name and is also available on Setapp, Focus, but it’s not working the way I want. It does prevent any and all access to websites. But I also want it to block every app except Focused and that’s not working properly. I got an error message saying there’s an issue with the installation of Focus Helper, which is apparently needed for Focus to work properly, so I’ve contacted the app developers to see if that’s the problem and how I can fix it. Meanwhile, I’ll search other ways to make my MacBook one-app-only.

Side Note: Focused’s share sheet connects directly to Mars Edit’s micropost feature, so I’m sending this directly to my blog. I think this is going to give a lot of joy.
