Ommwriter is the sexiest text editor I have ever come across. Hands down.

Before I say anything more – Ommwriter is currently only available on mac. Sorry for now, PC. Also, it is still in beta; thus, we can anticipate more exciting features [and probably PC support]…[and probably a price tag, unfortunately] before it is officially launched.

Like other “focus” driven apps, Ommwriter essentially hijacks your entire screen/system to shut out any unnecessary distractions while you maraud your brain for the right words. It does nothing to my second screen, currently, but I would like to assume that can be attributed to its beta status. The app is wonderfully designed in a minimalist fashion. The few buttons that allow the user to change the background or soothing ambient music/sounds disappear when there is no mouse movement, again, with the intention of helping you focus on your writing. I’m sure anybody could find a use for it, but it is ideal for creative writers.

Personally, I turned off the music and keyboard sounds as I am using it while writing lyrics with a guitar in my hands.

Mouse your way over to http://www.ommwriter.com to check it out for yourself.
