Whether it’s for school, work, or fun, where do you do your writing? Do you have some favorite writing software, or are you more the pen-and-paper type? If you write on your computer, you may find yourself getting distracted. And if you’re sporting ink stains on your hands, it can get frustrating to transcribe your work if you want a digital copy.

There may be no wrong place to do your writing, but you might enjoy doing it on a machine that’s both digital and distraction-free. The Freewrite Traveler is a portable writing tool that gives you the accessibility of a keyboard with the streamlining of a notepad, and right now, it’s only $429 with code FREEWRITE20.

A streamlined tool for writers

The Freewrite Traveler is a distraction-preventing writing machine, which might make it an excellent tool for your next draft. With no browser, email, or notifications, your time with the Traveler really is just between you and your piece. This Indiegogo-funded writing tool has a full-size scissor-switch keyboard with 30+ potential layouts and an E Ink display that uses ambient light for illumination. The only downside there would be that you can’t write in complete darkness, but it also means if you write habitually, you aren’t staring at a source of blue light which could harm your sleep patterns or potentially do damage to your eyes.

While you’re writing, the Traveler saves your work automatically to local storage that can hold 1,000,000+ pages of drafts. You can also connect to your Dropbox, Evernote, and Google Drive for cloud storage once you connect to any WiFi signal. Just 1.6 pounds and under a foot long, this may be one of the easier ways to keep your digital writing projects with you almost anywhere. And with a battery that can last for up to four weeks (with an average daily usage of 30 minutes), you could type out a draft on your next camping trip.
