![]() ![]() Just thought I’d share in case it looks like the sort of thing that might work for you too. This has been great for me recently in terms of productivity and of course your mileage may vary. Apple iWorks Pages, or the rival FocusWriter, but its streamlined. ![]() Here’s a look at how you can customize the look a bit: OmmWriter Dana II achieves its distraction-free goal in part by operating exclusively. And you can also choose from fun little keyboard noises for extra clickity-clack, or turn that off. ![]() You can turn that off and listen to whatever on your headphones or whatever, but I’ve been enjoying it. The music is Zenlike ambient stuff, no lyrics, just soothing. Move the cursor in OmmWriter and the bounding box appears with the minimalist controls: That’s an easy fix for me I will have to import into Word and do an editing pass anyway, so I can add that formatting later in exchange for focused writing now. The lack of bold or italics might be a nonstarter for some writers, and hey, that’s fair enough. Here’s what the default background looks like as I typed on my laptop: I know that other apps will lock down your social media or whatever, but then you’re still stuck looking at a desktop of distractions, or at the oppressive white nihilism of Word’s blank page. This is all about focusing on the task of writing. Your dock disappears so you’re not tempted by all the many ways you can multitask. What OmmWriter does is provide you a distraction-free desktop to write. It’s called OmmWriter and I found it in the App Store. Thought I’d share an app that has been working well for me recently and may (or may not) work for you. Lots of people telling stories and encouraging one another-what’s not to like? I’ve never “won” NaNoWriMo-that is, write 50K words in the 30 days of National Novel Writing Month-but I dig participating anyway because of the camaraderie. ![]()
