ghostwriter

ghostwriter is a free, open-source Markdown editor developed by KDE for distraction-free writing. It provides a clean interface with full-screen editing, customizable themes, and a live HTML preview. Users can focus on individual lines, sentences, or paragraphs while dimming surrounding text. Hemingway Mode encourages uninterrupted drafting by temporarily disabling deletion keys. The application tracks document statistics, session progress, and word counts. A document outline makes navigating lengthy articles, manuscripts, and reports easier. Additional tools include Markdown syntax references, automatic saving, file backups, and drag-and-drop image insertion. Export options support multiple formats through external processors such as Pandoc. ghostwriter is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
