Left is distractionless plaintext editor designed to quickly navigate between segments of an essay, or multiple documents. It features an auto-complete, synonyms suggestions, writing statistics, markup-based navigation and a speed-reader.
The application was initially created to help Rek with the writing of the upcoming novel Wiktopher, and later made available as a free and open source software.
