A text editor for Mac that gets out of your way.

Type here. This is Foco, just as it looks on your Mac.

There are no buttons. What you need is on the keyboard, and the rest doesn’t exist. The line at the bottom fades while you type and comes back when you stop.

Try typewriter mode: the line you’re on stays in the middle of the screen and the text scrolls up to meet you.

Or focus mode, which dims everything you’re not writing right now.

When you close the window, it won’t ask whether to save. It already did.

Nothing you type here is saved anywhere.

No account. No subscription. No cloud. No tracking. No buttons.

A few things, done well.

Your writing is just files.

Plain text, .txt or .md, in whatever folder you choose. Any editor can open them, today or twenty years from now. If you ever leave Foco, your writing leaves with you.

Questions

What happens when the trial ends?

Foco still opens your files and lets you read, copy, print and export them. It only stops editing until you activate your license. It never holds your writing hostage.

Why does macOS ask me to confirm the first time?

Foco is made by an independent developer and isn’t notarized by Apple yet. The first time, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → “Open Anyway”. It’s a one-time step, explained inside the installer.

Does Foco send any data?

No. No account, no analytics, no internet connection. Not even to check the license.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days. Write to [email protected] with one line about what didn’t work for you; it helps us improve Foco.

Windows, iPad, iPhone?

Mac only, for now.
