iA Writer
The calm page,with the work around it.
iA Writer is a quieter place to write a draft. Ritemark keeps that page and puts the rest of the job in the same window.
If all you need is the page, iA Writer is the more focused choice.
It still reads like the finished page.
Headings, tables, links and diagrams look like what they are while you type, and the file stays plain markdown.
The recording is part of the draft.
A workshop becomes a transcript with speakers and timestamps, and the decisions come out with the minute they were made.
Where each one wins

Typography, focus mode, and a page with nothing else on it.
