Ommwriter Writing Zen

Ommwriter is a new full screen editor for the Mac. What makes this one different is that it includes ambient sounds (think new age relaxation and aromatherapy), very subtle keyboard sounds and interesting backgrounds. In my brief test, this post was written in ommwriter, it works well but I did find the ambient music to be too loud relative to the keyboard fx. It would be nice to have a control on the relative levels. But this is about minimalism (the fewer controls the better) and it’s only a beta release. It’s a very interesting project and it’s good to see someone doing something different with editors for a change.
