![]() ![]() The music and the backdrops were chosen for the unobtrusive simplicity, and are quite effective at fading away and allowing the text to come to the foreground (where it belongs). Ommwriter employs what might be described as “Zen aesthetics.” You can choose from eight minimalistic backdrops and seven tracks of ambient white noise to wash over you as you type (think bubbling water, wind roiling through blades of grass, that sort of thing). Anything that might distract you or keep the words from pouring out of your head and onto the page is done away with. You won’t find a laundry list of font types, Word Art clips, rulers, citation managers, nor even basic options for bolding, italicizing, or underling text, nor the ability to insert tables, video, or pictures of any kind. The feature set is sparse (but so is the price tag, just $5.99). To that end, Ommwriter is a word processing app notable for what it doesn’t offer. Ommwriter is built on the premise that technology is at its best when gets out of our way. This is the quote that prefaces Ommwriter’s product description in the App Store, and perfectly summarizes the design philosophy of the software. “We are all that mercy of our incessant minds, swinging from branch to branch.” ![]()
