-----------------------------------------
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, the award-winning writing application, is now available for the Apple iPad allowing users to be alone with their thoughts and to concentrate.
The secret to OmmWriter lies in its simplicity and apparent lack of functionality. OmmWriter for iPad focuses on doing one thing well: improving the writing experience by completely redesigning the keyboard interface from a usability perspective.
In addition, OmmWriter for iPad pays special attention to audio and visual effects which include dynamic chromatherapy techniques that promote creativity and aid concentration.
If you are a blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet, student or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.
What others are saying:
"Now OmmWriter has come to the iPad, where it makes a lot more sense. OmmWriter is supposed to be simple and beautiful, and judged on those criteria, its a winner." Charlie Sorrell for Wired
"Staying focused and resisting distractions is a key to being successful in school." -Claire Courtney for Forbes
"For those who have grown to love the application on their desktops, the same experience can now be had on the iPad – and I highly recommend it." - Killian Bell for cultofmac
“Part word processor, part work of art, OmmWriter is a must for people who journal, blog, or do any kind of writing where creativity and idea-generation is key. Give it a try.” -Michael Grothaus for TUAW
“The modern computer experience is amazing for distracting you from work… Omm Writer doesn’t lock you in a dark room until you force the words out, but rather creates a space in your head that allows you to focus on what you want to say.” -Bill Stitleler for Appletell

The perfect couple: great wine + ommwriter
(my apologies for the unnecessarily long length of this review - i write for a living you see).
Let's face it. It's like root beer. You either love ommwriter or you hate it. I got hooked on it this year. A journalist colleague of mine first came across ommwriter and is to blame for my addiction. I write about wine. I'm also quite a technological laggard. Sometimes my best work has been thanks to TextEdit and a cold glass of Chardonnay.
I say sometimes because when you're working to a tight deadline to get an article out, not even the best Chablis will get you through the article and the night. Come in ommwriter. I must confess, It did initially sound pretty new-wave and incense burning to me but I gave it a try on my Mac. Not sure if it was those changing background colors or those mesmerizing sounds that just makes the words flow from brain to finger tips.
So I was pleased to see that they finally released a version for the iPad, that has so cunningly replaced my vintage MacBook because of her good looks and lighter weight, especially when traveling.
I have not been disappointed so far. The tech types at Apple-land could learn a thing or two from this app. Just check out what they did to the keyboard. Mine (the keyboard) now sits half way up the screen allowing me to type like a normal human being and not just with two fingers and hands floating in the air like Simon Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.
Those hypnotic sounds and images are still there and I even get the click-click keyboard sounds when I use the external keyboard. Nice one.
So what am I missing? Apart from letting me do Dropbox with ommwriter I would not add a single new extra feature. That would mess up the whole less-is-more philosophy. Well maybe I would add one more. A snap-on wine glass holder for the iPad. Here's a toast to you guys in Ommwriterland. Keep up the good work.
Great writing app.
After using the Mac app for some time I had wanted a similar version for the iPad. Now that it is here I am so pleased with its functionality. Some reviews state that they want something that will help with auto correction. Although this can seem like a bother I feel this is exactly what the app intends to do. To stop focusing on those little problems that are better suited for editing later rather than wasting time with those small details. OmmWriter is an excellent application and I highly recommend it!
Love it!
I have some kind of an idea for an additional background sound: An ancient library. You hear the sounds of book pages turned slowly, whispering in an other language, maybe some monks praying and chanting mantras like "om mani padme hum" and so on. I'd looove that^^ Oh and I'd also love some more moving nature landscapes like the snow field, maybe an island in the night with stars above it or something like that!
Keep up the good work! Totally superior writing app!
