Jottr is a simple, opinionated, plain text editor I developed primarily for my personal use. It’s mainly intended for writers, researchers and journalists or anyone who needs a simple, distraction-free tool for writing. It’s cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS or Windows. The app is released under the GPL v3 license.

It has the following features:

  • Dark, Light and Sepia (paper-like) themes
  • Focus mode - Distraction-free writing made easy by hiding all UI elements (can be toggled with mouse or a keyboard shortcut)
  • Search for any word without leaving the editor using the integrated web browser
  • Snippets - Save any word or block of text as snippets and quickly insert using mouse or through typing snippet name
  • User dictionary
  • Inline auto-completion for words added to user dictionary
  • Add custom search websites to your right-click menu
  • Custom font for editor
  • Zoom controls

RPM and DEB packages are provided at the project’s github page.

Feel free to share your feedback/thoughts.

    When you enable the Focus Mode (fir distraction-free writing), the browser is automatically toggled off.
