OmmWriter Brings Tranquil Text-Editing To IPad

When OmmWriter appeared on the Mac, we wondered what the bitch was about. OmmWriter is a of the "distraction-free" essay apps that inhibit out all solely the content you're working on. OmmWriter went a step serve than the standard full-screen mode, adding in calm, pondering credentials song to the mix.

The app was fine, but if you can't disregard a couple of open windows on your P.C. whilst you're writing, it might be time to collect other job, or collect up a few ADD meds.

Now OmmWriter has advance to the iPad, where it creates a lot more sense. While we still do not purchase in to the distraction-free thing, we do conclude a minimal interface on the iPad's small screen, particularly with the set of keys receiving up half the space. OmmWriter obviously uses a law keyboard, as you can see in the screenshot above.

This set of keys may be done bigger or not as big by pinching in and out, and can even be dragged up the shade to lay a small higher. You can moreover select between QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ layouts, and the set of keys creates a still click or sound when you press a key (this is configurable).

Speaking of sound, you can select from the same willing credentials song as in the Mac version, and you can moreover change backgrounds between assorted relaxing scenes. Some of these even move, similar to the snow white landscape choice above.

I got flattering excited, too, when we pasted in a lump of content and saw it uncover up at the back the keyboard. This seems to have been a bug, though, as it left when we proposed editing. It would be a good feature, vouchsafing you see more content as you write.

OmmWriter looks flattering good, and sounds even better. But hard-core writers may wish to wait for a while. The stream iPad chronicle doesn't have Dropbox encouragement (you have to e-mail your papers as TXT or PDF files to obtain them out), and there are nothing of the fancier navigation options (tapping margins to pierce the cursor, for instance) found in the ultimate second-gen iPad content editors.

Still, that's not the point. OmmWriter is ostensible to be elementary and beautiful, and judged on the criteria, its a winner. OmmWriter is existing right away for $5.
