Themes

The built-in light and dark themes provide an aesthetic writing experience out of the box. If the these are not enough, you can create your very own!


Live Preview

Preview your Markdown document in HTML. With the live preview, you can copy the HTML to paste into your blog, or export to another format.

The live preview is optimized for large documents, so you can work carefree without worrying about the application freezing as you type.


Navigation

ghostwriter's sidebar provides an outline of the document that allows you to navigate to any section--including within the live preview!--with a single mouse click. You can display the sidebar's outline tab for a quick keyboard jump by pressing Ctrl+J, selecting the section name with the arrow keys, and pressing ENTER.


Focus Mode

Clicking on the "Focus" button in the lower right corner of the editor will enable Focus Mode, which highlights only the current text around the cursor while fading the rest. You can configure ghostwriter to highlight the current line, sentence, paragraph, or three lines.


Document and Session Statistics

In addition to displaying a live word count at the bottom of the window, ghostwriter displays even more live statistics in its Document Statistics and Session Statistics sidebar tabs.

Hemingway Mode

Avoid editing while you write by clicking on the "Hemingway" button in the lower right corner of the editor to disable your backspace and delete keys, creating a typewriter experience.

Drag and Drop Images

Easily create image URLs within your Markdown document by dragging and dropping an image from your file system into ghostwriter's editor.
