The Ommwriter?

Via macnn:

Herraiz Soto, an independent creative agency, has launched Ommwriter, a new word processor with a “Zen-like meditative focus.” The software offers a choice of ambient music themes that play in the background, along with a variety of keyboard audio-feedback themes designed to make typing a pleasant experience. The software works within one window, with drag-over activated menus to the right of the workspace.

I almost thought this was a joke. (Was “Soto” an inside-gag name, referring to Soto Zen?) But it’s not. Starting out skeptically, I’ve just gone to the Ommwriter site, watched the About Ommwriter video… [Click the button with the four arrows on the player below, to watch full screen (recommended/necessary)]

…and I’d be downloading it now, if only there was a Windows version. It’s Mac-only right now. Dang! Well, as someone who spends a lot of time in writing, I’m looking forward to seeing what this thing can do.

More Dharma-Burgers like this one, please!
