Day #3: Ommwriter.
Feb. 4th, 2010 05:43 pmDay #3: Ommwriter
So. Yesterday LifeHacker had an article about a distraction-free writing program for Windows. Well, as a Mac user it wasn't much for me, but the article included a link to their review of Ommwriter for the Mac.
And wow am I glad I downloaded it.
A.) When it is maximized it is full screen. There's no dock, no other programs running in the background. Just you and your file.
B.) There are several different backgrounds. I'm sticking with the default for now: a snowy, foggy hill with some bare trees.
C.) You can resize the window you're writing in. So if you didn't go with the trees, you can write across the full screen.
D.) Ambient noise tracks. I'm using #7 (the ocean waves) and I'd really love it if there was a way to get that MP3 file on my iPod because it has everything I love about my "Gentle Ocean" sleep track without the stuff I hate (noisy seagulls).
Part of me wishes I had been paying better attention back with LH first recommended Ommwriter, but I'm definitely glad that I gave it a try now.
