Immovable print point
Paper and carriage move; your gaze stays centered like a real desk machine.
Focus writing software
Distraction-free writing app with a real mechanical typewriter
MyRemy is a distraction-free writing app built around a mechanical typewriter simulator—fixed print point, moving paper, margin bell, and overstrike drafting. Draft in the browser or offline on Windows with a minimalist writing app that keeps your eyes centered and your inner editor quiet.

Separate drafting from editing
Most word processors invite you to fix every sentence as you go. MyRemy is focus writing software for the first pass: no delete key on the machine—only forward motion, overstrike, and the rhythm of carriage return. When the draft is done, export TXT or PNG and polish elsewhere.
Typewriter mode — pure sessions
A typewriter writing app for morning pages, poems, and single-sheet sessions. One machine, one sheet, layered writing app with typewriter sound—strike, space, return, bell, and eject.
-
Sheet lifecycle
Load paper, type to the end, eject into your manuscript stack.
-
PNG & TXT export
Share a visual page or plain text when the session ends.
-
Browser or desktop
Use the browser typewriter writing tool anywhere; desktop adds offline depth.
Writer Studio — local-first novel writing app
When a spark becomes a book, open the same machine inside a book writing workspace—structure when you need it, freedom when you do not.
- Spark — capture the idea
- Material — notes & probes
- Structure — parts & scenes
- Manuscript — read & reorder sheets
- Cut — restore or archive
Your offline writing app data stays in a folder you choose—readable JSON and Markdown, not a locked cloud library. Search, import TXT/MD, export chapters as TXT.
Mechanical typewriter simulator features
Overstrike, not undo
Backspace steps the carriage—true typewriter drafting without a delete key.
Margin bell & lock
Hear the bell before the right margin; keys lock at the edge until release.
Ribbon & correction
Black/red ribbon, wear, and correction tape behavior on the grid.
Platen & line spacing
Line steps, half-line platen, and 1 / 1.5 / 2 spacing on return.
Machine personality
Strike weight from typing pace, per-letter bias, seeded machine feel.
Typewriter scroll mode vs real mechanics
Category peers such as iA Writer, FocusWriter, and Ulysses often add typewriter scrolling or optional sounds. MyRemy is built as a mechanical typewriter simulator first.
| Capability | Typical typewriter mode | MyRemy |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor / paper motion | Centered line scrolling | Fixed print point, paper moves |
| Backspace | Deletes characters | Overstrike on grid cells |
| Margin feedback | Soft wrap | Bell, lock, margin release |
| Long-form workflow | Files or library app | Optional Studio on your disk |
| Hardware alternative | N/A | Software vs dedicated devices (e.g. Freewrite class) |

Frequently asked questions
What is a distraction-free writing app?
A distraction-free writing app removes notifications, formatting clutter, and editing shortcuts so you can draft in focus. MyRemy adds a mechanical typewriter simulator so the screen feels like a real machine, not a generic text box.
Does MyRemy simulate a real mechanical typewriter?
Yes. MyRemy uses a fixed print point, moving paper, cell grid imprints, margin bell, ribbon behavior, carriage return phases, and layered typewriter sounds—not just centered scrolling or click effects.
Does backspace delete text in this typewriter writing app?
No. Backspace moves the carriage one step right for overstrike, like a real typewriter. You draft forward and edit later in another tool, which supports a draft-first workflow.
Is MyRemy a good novel writing app?
MyRemy includes an optional Writer Studio: sparks, material notes, structure, manuscript stacks, and a cut tray—stored as readable files in a folder you choose. Use Typewriter-only mode for sessions or Studio for book-length work.
Can I use MyRemy as a browser typewriter writing tool?
Yes. The web version runs in your browser for quick distraction-free writing sessions. The Windows desktop app adds offline use and a user-chosen workspace folder on disk.
Where are my files stored?
In Writer Studio, books live in a workspace folder you pick—JSON sheets, structure, and a journal file on your drive, not a proprietary cloud library. The browser build uses local storage for development-style sessions.
How is MyRemy different from apps with typewriter mode?
Many focus writing apps offer typewriter scrolling or optional sounds. MyRemy models machine mechanics: bell before the margin, lock at the right edge, sheet load and eject, and overstrike instead of undo.
When will the Windows desktop download be available?
The Windows installer is coming soon. Use the browser typewriter in the meantime; check the download section on this page for updates.
Does MyRemy require an account or subscription?
No account is required. MyRemy is local-first focus writing software—your manuscripts stay on your machine in Studio mode.
Can I export my writing?
Yes. Export sheets as PNG or TXT from the typewriter, and export chapters or projects as TXT from Writer Studio. Import TXT and Markdown into new projects.
