# Full Screen

On smaller screens, it can be helpful to use MacJournal full screen. To do this, click on the green button in the titlebar of the window, next to the close box and the minimize button in the upper left of the window. This causes MacJournal to take over the screen and hide the menu bar and Dock and focus on just one window. You still have access to the toolbar and all parts of the window. If you move the mouse to the top of the screen, you can see the menu bar. If you move to the bottom, the Dock should appear. If you have a trackpad on your system, you can use three fingers and swipe back and forth to switch between full screen spaces on your computer. To exit full screen, click on the green button again (after moving your mouse to the very top of the screen to reveal the menu bar and title bar of the window). Alternately, you can use the "Full Screen" menu item in the View menu to both enter and exit full screen mode.

Separately, MacJournal also provides Focused Editing, which helps minimize distractions while writing.
