Much More Fun Computers
More Apple than Apple, Ommwriter is a zen-minimal text editor that seems everything its promotional spiel says it is:
“A wise man once said “We are all at the mercy of our wild monkey minds. Incessantly swinging from branch to branch.” With multiple windows and applications all vying for our attention, we have sadly adapted our working habits to that of the computer and not the other way around.
Ommwriter is a humble attempt to recapture what technology has snatched away from us today: our capacity to concentrate.
Ommwriter is a simple text processor that firmly believes in making writing a pleasure once again, vindicating the close relationship between writer and paper. The more intimate the relation, the smoother the flow of inspiration.
If you are a scriptwriter, blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.”
You have to watch the video to get a sense of how it works, but imagine typing directly onto your desktop, with no visible buttons, and only a nice little ‘toc toc toc’ sound as you type.
Lovely. Ommwriter is coming to macs soon (PCs a little later).
