<p>All these apps are available for free on your Fedora system. And they also respect your freedom. (Many also let you use existing services where you may have an account.)</p>
<h2>FocusWriter</h2>
<p>FocusWriter is simply a full screen word processor. The app makes you more productive because it covers everything else on your screen. When you use FocusWriter, you have nothing between you and your text. With this app at work, you can focus on your thoughts with fewer distractions.</p>

<p>FocusWriter lets you adjust fonts, colors, and theme to best suit your preferences. It also remembers your last document and location. This feature lets you jump right back into focusing on writing without delay.</p>
<p>To install FocusWriter, use the <em>Software</em> app in your Fedora Workstation. Or run this command in a terminal <a href="https://fedoramagazine.org/howto-use-sudo/">using sudo</a>:</p>

<p>Using ToDo, you can prioritize and schedule deadlines for all your tasks. You can also build as many tasks lists as you want.

ToDo can even interface with a Todoist or Google account if you use one. It synchronizes tasks so you can share across your devices.</p>
<p>To install, search for ToDo in <em>Software</em>, or at the command line run:</p>
