Wordfokus is a must-have for any writer using Google Docs. It creates the perfect distraction-free environment that helps you get words on the page without second-guessing every sentence. The focus modes—Blur, Ghost, and Typewriter—each offer a unique way to quiet your inner editor and keep you locked into the present moment. Whether you’re drafting a story, writing a report, or journaling, Wordfokus helps you stay in flow and avoid the usual traps of over-editing and procrastination. Since using it, I’m more productive, less distracted, and writing feels effortless. If you struggle with procrastination or perfectionism, this extension is a game-changer.

Tested this new add-on for a simple 2-page document for work, and I must say I didn't know this focus thing actually works. I was skeptical but I'm glad I tried it. I used the free version at first and felt I needed certain features in the pro so I tested it. For someone trying to write a whole book, the pro version is definitely better because you get to have better tracking of your work and everything. I love the milestone checks. It's motivating. I put 4 stars because I really wish dark mode was a free feature. It's only available for pro. But that's just me being petty. Install WordFokus, I recommend it!

Was pleasantly surprised. This actually worked. Not seeing what i was writing allowing to keep writing more and more. My daily wordcount is up and I am actually enjoying the process again. The Seinfeld style stats calendar is a nice touch and Blur Mode is great. That little mind shift to "physically" prevent going back to edit really works. It forces you to keep going. At the end of the day there is a sense of achievement and then you can start editing. I wish I had found this when I was in uni.

Dark mode is premium, why bother when I can't so much as test the feature?
