It hides all your stuff with a background and what you need to do is focusing on the text in front of you. The OmmWriter provides similar focus environment that WriteRoom does. It offers both free version and paid version. Recently, my twitter friend, suggested me to try the OmmWriter Dana writing application. Used the SimpleNote web app with full screen Safari on Mac. I used the SimpleNote app on iPhone and iPad. Later I tried SimpleNote which I can sync all data with my Mac and iOS devices. I used to use WriteRoom, which provides a black screen and makes me focus on the text that I’m writing. OmmWriter Dana also uses a very small underscore cursor that can be difficult to spot when editing text and moving around in a document.I have tried several writing apps in Mac. 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.
