We've included not only apps, but also some of the very best Chrome extensions and online services that offer a superior typing experience. Our focus has also been on a distraction-free writing environment and offline accessibility in the selection of apps. With that said, let's go ahead and check out the best Chromebook apps for writers in 2023.

If you're looking for the best writing app for your Chromebook, may I suggest the obvious one? Yes, Google Docs that comes pre-installed with Chrome OS is the best writing tool you can have on your Chromebook. I know what you're thinking: it doesn't have an offline mode and there are tons of formatting options you don't want.

However, there are easy ways to make Google Docs the perfect writing app and here I'll show you how. You can install an add-on called Distraction Free Mode for Google Docs (free) that basically hides all the buttons and controls so you can focus on typing.

And with just one click, you can get the formatting back if you want to change fonts or customize the content. Also, Google Docs now supports offline mode and you can install a separate add-on for it. You can also enable offline mode manually from the Settings page. So there you have it, a free and powerful word processor that can also be your writing app.
