The secret to this app lies in its simplicity and apparent lack of functionality. More than a word processor, this app is a place to get inspired. This app is a tool that makes writing a pleasure again, allowing users to be alone with their thoughts to concentrate and to write without distractions. This app is a humble attempt to recapture what technology has snatched away from us today: our capacity to concentrate. With multiple windows and applications all vying for our attention, we have sadly adapted our working habits to that of the computer and not the other way around. Incessantly swinging from branch to branch”. ***New users: Thanks for choosing the new this app Gaia, and welcome to the family!***Ī wise man once said: “We are all at the mercy of our wild monkey minds.
***Existing users: For a happy update experience, please read “What's New in this Version” below. OmmWriter Dana also uses a very small underscore cursor that can be difficult to spot when editing text and moving around in a document.We understand the importance of finding the right Productivity app for your needs, which is why we are happy to give you OmmWriter by Herraiz Soto & Co. The fonts are solid, but with my aging eyes on a 27-inch Cinema Display, even at the largest size I wanted to be able to increase the font size a bit more than the program allows. The program’s display options are limited to four sizes each of four different fonts: a proportional and non-proportional sans serif font, a serif font, and a cursive font.
If you want to print, you need to export to PDF or RTF, and then print from within another program. Unlike with some other programs, there’s no live preview of Markdown or HTML documents, and you can’t print from the program. You can export to PDF or RTF, but you can’t apply WYSIWYG styles-just Markdown or HTML code for formatting. Unfortunately, you can’t change the volume for the music or typing sounds they both play at set volumes, and some of the typing sounds are a bit loud.Īs with many writing apps of this type, OmmWriter is text-only. There are also seven different typing sounds in case you want audible feedback of keystrokes. They range in length from about 7 minutes to roughly 19 minutes, so the longest ones won’t repeat very quickly, but over long writing sessions, I certainly noticed the musical hamster wheel. While these sounds are interesting, they can get old pretty quickly.
