I've had my eye on Astrohaus Freewrite products for a while. The company has made all kinds of keyboard-and-screen devices that are designed to eliminate distractions and allow you to get down to just writing.
But I could never quite pull the trigger and get myself away from my usual writing apps, so I never seriously considered a Freewrite keyboard.
Until now, that is. That's because at CES 2025 Astrohaus has just announced (via The Verge) the Freewrite Wordrunner, which ditches the screen in favour of a standalone keyboard so you can use it with a device and application of your choosing.
Instead of the usual Freewrite e-ink display, the Wordrunner has a word counter, a timer, a red joystick, and writing-focused keys in lieu of function keys.
In other words, it seems the company's tried to make a product that brings its focus on distraction-free writing to a standalone keyboard for use with regular writing apps on PC or other devices.
