I blogged a couple of days ago about one application which I really like when it comes to writing: WriteRoom. The application allows to fade out all the unimportant features of the interface to let the user concentrate on the text.

People from freeverse have expanded the concept further with Think, an application that allows to set the focus on each application of interest and to hide all the rest.

At this very moment, applications are fighting for your attention. Between chat windows, Finder windows, Web browser windows, and everything else, it’s amazing any of us can concentrate at all. As it has become easier to multitask, we’ve become more likely to have two dozen windows on the screen at any given moment. Innovations like Expose makes finding what you want in the sea of visual stimuli easier, but they’ve done little to remove those distractions.
