Ghostwriter is a Deathly Good Distraction Free Writing App

If you’re looking for a smart, distraction free text editor for Windows, macOS, or Linux, check in with Ghostwriter. Ghostwriter is now part of the KDE app family proper, and for good reason: it’s a supremely competent, straightforward word processor with markdown support, including a toggle-able rich preview so that you can see your formatting in-situ, as you type. This app also auto-saves work as you type (so you can work with some ease of mind) and it has several advanced ‘distraction free’ features that help you tune out on what you’re doing. Oh — can I get a woo, :sys_more_orange:

EverSticky: Sticky Notes App for Linux that Syncs to Evernote

When it comes to sticky note apps for Linux it’s fair to say we’re spoilt for choice – heck knows I’ve tried most of the ones out there! EverSticky is another open-source sticky notes app for Linux but it has a major difference: it syncs to Evernote, the hugely-popular note taking and task management service. Existing Evernote users will find this a compelling USP as, with minimal effort, it’s easy to take notes and keep them in sync across multiple devices. EverSticky is a Qt-based app created by developer Joey Miller. But it’s fully compatible with most modern Linux desktops :sys_more_orange:

Open Source Video Editor Kdenlive Gains 10-Bit Color Support

If you’re feeling creative this week be sure to check out the latest release of open source video editor Kdenlive. Kdenlive’s development team has announced the release of Kdenlive 22.04. This is a major update that carries more than 300 commits. While its devs say this release is ‘mostly focused on stability and polishing’ there are a couple of new features you’ll want to know about. The biggest ‘new’ feature in Kdenlive 22.04 is support for full range 10-bit colour. This is a pretty huge advancement that will definitely help the non-linear editor find favour with indie filmmakers. The drawback :sys_more_orange:

KDE Connect is Now Available on Windows

KDE Connect is one of the best ways to integrate your Android smartphone with your Linux desktop. Now the tech is available for Windows users too. A beta build of KDE Connect for Windows is available for testing, though it’s only accessible through a special link to the Microsoft Store app listing page at present. This means you can’t open the Microsoft Store, search “KDE Connect” and install it that way. KDE Connect joins a swathe of KDE software on the Microsoft Store, where faves like painting app Krita, NLE Kdenlive, and text editor Kate are already available — and :sys_more_orange:
