Well, this tool does what it says...
Nothing really new, here... But Ommwriter is a bit "pretentious", too "glossy" for me.

I prefer Bean's full screen feature. I can choose my colors and I'm not limited to various Fengshui background colors.
The keyboard sounds are great, though. Strangely, they really help me concentrate.

It helps me in my writing tasks. But sometimes it crashes without saving of document:( Waiting for markdown)

This is a very clean and elegant text editor. Its fullscreen mode, graphics and soothing sounds help getting in the mood of writing. Though I don't like that I'm forced to work in fullscreen mode (or am I missing anything here?) which I don't always prefer.

Anyway, if you're looking for a simple and minimalist distraction free writing app, Ommwriter is an excellent choice. If it wasn't for Byword this was my text editor of choice as well.

I don't usually write reviews, or write them so quickly, but I tried this today and bought it after working with the demo for 15 minutes. It is perfect for what it is and for its simplicity. Like another reviewer here, I write for publishing, but unlike him, I like this for what it is. True, it's not a word processor. It's more a thought processor and that's what I want. When done, you can save in the native format, or export to PDF, TXT or RTF when you're ready to process it in Word or another app.

I wanted something like myTexts but without the sudden crashing (thank God myTexts had auto-save). Today I looked around after two crashes with myTexts, and OMM. What else can I say?

Thanks to the developers for a really thoughtful app. You don't need to do more to it. Keep it simple. But that said, how about a pure black background, or dark gray? I will donate more money to you soon, as soon as some of my writing assignments pay off. Thanks!

I've been experimenting with Ommwriter for about a week. I've been using it to create blog posts at my site (liberationfromthelie.com) and to write sections of my next book. Like one other reviewer here, I was initially put off by the total absence of formatting capabilities and was considering going back to conventional authoring software. But the more I used Ommwriter, the more I just loved it. Yes, the absence of these features does cause some 'backend' labor with a formal word processor, but the writing environment is so unique that is has shown me that it has once decisive quality that all of the other word processors lack; an ability to access a different part of my creative being. And this is just amazing. I don't think it will work for most people and perhaps for only some people, but those for whom it will "work", for those people, it will be a godsend.

LOVE IT. It's like WriteRoom while watching a Scandinavian art film. The sounds are great, and thank goodness you can't format or print or anything from it! It's about writing!

I love the clean, uncluttered screen and the minimalist design. But I don't write for entertainment; I write to publish, to print, and to e-mail. This app allows none of that. Neither does it allow any formatting. No indenting, no centering. It is similarly limited in its ability to read and save files (text only).

To actually use this app, you have to save your work, then import the text data into another word processor for formatting and printing.

If you only want to write a haiku or two a week while being entranced by the audio and visual treats, this app is for you. If you want to write, well, maybe a future version will include some practical features.

That's kind of the point. It's a text editor, not a word processor. Criticizing a text editor for not being a word processor is like criticizing a chopping knife for not being a Swiss Army knife.

Love it.

This software almost puts you on a trance... where words flow naturally from somewhere else back in your unconscious mind.

Try it and you'll see what I mean....

I don't know how some ideas dawn on developers but this one is surely divine! This program has the simplest interface and the most superb sounds among similar applications to allow users a total concentration and relax. It has practically no troublesome tools to hinder your writing or distract your attention. Its hand-written type of font with its special drawing feature that mimics a real pen's footprint is second to none. I do look forward to seeing its future releases.

KeesBakker had trouble on 13 Jun 2011

Every single time I open an .omm document I get the message 'Do you want to save the document 'Untitled' '. So I have to save that thing every time I open something, because otherwise it opens 'Untitled'.

Does anyone know a solution for this? It makes OmmWriter completely unusable for me.

Ommwriter... A simple text editor for writers.

A wise man once said "We are all at the mercy of our wild monkey minds. Incessantly swinging from branch to branch." 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.

Ommwriter is a humble attempt to recapture what technology has snatched away from us today: our capacity to concentrate.

Ommwriter is a simple text processor that firmly believes in making writing a pleasure once again, vindicating the close relationship between writer and paper. The more intimate the relation, the smoother the flow of inspiration.

If you are a scriptwriter, blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.
