Ommwriter – Bringing Zen to Writing
When I sit down to write, all I want to do is precisely that and nothing else. But the reality is different. There are multiple pop ups, bouncing dock icons and a dozen windows all vying for your attention. It distracts me, my flow gets affected and the writing gets diluted as a result.
But over the last two and half weeks, I’ve been oblivious to that distraction, thanks to Ommwriter. It’s the latest entrant to the field of minimalist and full screen text editors on the Mac. It brings a beautiful and graceful UI to the screen, plays soothing music when you type and even recreates the clicktey-clack of an old typewriter as you pound away on the keys. All of them combine to give you an almost zen like feeling when you write, full engrossed and mindful of what’s been typed out. Sure there are more robust and mature pieces of software like WriteRoom and Ulysses, but nothing comes close to Ommwriter for it’s overall experience.
