SciFlow - Distraction-free writing of scientific texts

The graphical interface of word processing software is often crammed with menus and buttons for formatting what is written. The best example is the top dog “Word” from Microsoft. But the free Office alternatives and last but not least Apple's "Pages" are not much better - even if you Pages can certainly be reduced to the bare minimum. 

Distraction-free offers aimed at authors usually offer even fewer visual stimuli, and that is exactly what SciFlow does. Only the most important buttons for formatting the text are displayed. In this way, specialist publications, term papers and theses can be written in a more concentrated manner. The concept is neither new nor innovative, but is supplemented by special additional offers.

Prices - costs for the full range of functions

However, there are three packages to choose from and which give you an idea of ​​the SciFlow prices. The free package is of course free of charge:
