I love the sound effects when you type, though it would be nice if you could toggle them on/off. Great work!

it's possible to toggle the sound in sidebar (click the button in left top corner)

i actually found the sound effect awkward and unnecessary because the app is called "_Distraction_ Free Writing"

I find that there is something satisfying about the sound of a keyboard. I guess I use to think of it at the sound of progress back in college. :)

As much as typing one sentence and hearing the sounds wasn't bad, and thank god the toggle is actually in the sidebar already. I found it pretty ironic that a distraction free writing interface included obnoxious sound effects.

The sounds effects are cute, but bleed into each other and produce strange noises if you type faster than your average bear. And bears don't type that fast, as you know.

iA Writer is a similar desktop app that I use for most of my writing: http://www.iawriter.com/
