typewriterWhat focus mode means here
The paper page stays front. Chrome steps back. Format tools appear when you need them, not as permanent noise.
Built for multi-hour novel sessions — not blog dashboards that scream metrics at you.
Pairs with binder structure
Focus is useless if you still live in one endless Doc. Typewriter chapters keep you inside a scene while the binder holds the book.
