normally i’m really averse to all the pseudo-buddha, new-agey, zen-plated, “i’m a buddhist even though i was raised in a western religion” bullshit that’s clogging up the yoga studios these days, but i have to say, i really love this app called ommwriter, which, despite it’s spiritual inclinations, is just a really simple, beautiful, intuitive word processing app that comes with a very decluttering soundtrack and aesthetic. i would even say that the app is inspiring and actually makes me want to do the hardest thing in the world for me: write.
the website goes on:
“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.”

seriously, if you’re a writer, just try it. i don’t think i’ll ever go back to word after discovering this.
