This application packs a highly intuitive GUI that also allows you to effortlessly hide all of its menu and buttons with a single mouse click. This way, you can get rid of any distraction that might hinder you from finishing your projects.

All the functions you might need for formatting your text, creating lists or generating mind-maps can be accessed using dedicated keyboard hotkeys, so you can still enjoy them without restrictions.

In other words, not only can you make your paragraphs bold or italic, but you can also apply several types of headings or insert various types of lists, as well as insert comments, block quotes or code blocks.

Once you are done with your document, Effie allows you to export your work to several formats, such as JPEG, PDF, DOCX or Markdown files.

Alternatively, you can publish your project online, provided you have added the corresponding accounts.

A very handy feature of Effie is that you can organize your lists in such a way so as to generate mind-maps, which can help you get a better perspective on things.

You can switch between several types of charts (logic, balance, timeline, tree or org), depending on the data you are processing.

The final step is to save your diagram as JPEG and share it with your colleagues.

Effie can provide you with the tools needed to get your work done without distractions. You will surely get used to the shortcuts it supports, especially if you are familiar with the Markdown syntax and commands.
