We stumbled upon a very cool app for both the PC and Mac called Ommwriter. This word processing app/program makes one of the most painful, arduous and soul-crushing—writing—kinda awesome. Basically it creates a visual interface for writing that is very Zen, very clean and very icon-free. Sort of like the way your apartment looked before you ruined it and tried to “decorate.” Full of clean promise. No bad art or prop books you’ll never read. No magnets on the fridge or stacks of empty DVD cases. But what’s really cool about Ommwriter is the sound it makes when you write. If you’re wearing headphones, it creates an audio soundscape that echoes the pace of your typing with a variety of customizable music and effects. Very soothing. Helps with focus.

That said,  you might have to keep an eye out that your scripts, proposals or blog posts don’t come out overly minimal, vaguely Haiku-y or about yoga. Calibrate with Red Bull and you’ll be back where you started. Either way, it’s an interesting idea.
