Great minimalist Writing App!

This app does exactly what it says. I have enjoyed writing in it so far. And theyre right, for the ultimate experience, use noise cancelling headphones.

Some things Ive seen other people say have been:

- Not enough backgrounds.

I figured out that if you go to the contents of the program and substitute the Image files with your own .jpg, you can effectively change the backgrounds to what you want. I would however like it if they supplied you with the option to have a few slots for your own images, so you dont have to go through all that.

- Not enough styles of music.

Most likely, as Ive said before about the images, you can probably substitute the music files for your own. However, it would be nice to have an option to add your own playlist or music to the background. Some people work better while listening to heavy metal and some work better while listening to Enya. I personally work well to just about anything. But to make this a truly personalized space where someone can better focus, you should allow the writer to select from some of their own music.

One of the things Id like to see is controls over the Music vs. FX volumes. Simply add a couple sliders with a menu option. I like to hear the typing sound more than the music, but if I turn up the sound, both go up.

One last thing would I think would help this app is to have a few preset page sizes to format the size of the window. I am currently writing a novel in a 6 x 9 format. Rather than having to open Pages to see how much is on the page, then go back to OmmWriter and make the writing space approximate. It would be nice to have a simple menu in the title bar.

Overall, I love this app and will continue to use it practically every day! I would encourage anyone who writes to get it and use it.

It has many ways that it can improve, while still maintaining its minimalist design. And I hope to see the designers do just that!

Thanks for a great app!

While I agree with most other users about the new sounds, I am not overly disappointed. However I did come across something I would like to see in a future update.

Please add a Bold or underline option to the hideaway menu. Sometimes while writing, I would like to add emphasis to certain things or even just to highlight a chapter beginning or thought change. I dont need 10,000 options for text formatting like Pages or Word, however I would like to see a couple.

Once again, Thanks for the great app!
