As digital distractions multiply, demand is rising for apps and hardware built for writing and nothing else.

Products like Freewrite and Pomera emphasize distraction-free drafting with e-ink screens, cloud sync, and stripped-down features.

These devices occupy a growing niche, but they are usually expensive and marketed as premium productivity tools.

The shift away from general-purpose laptops and word processors reflects changing habits among modern writers.
