OmmWriter: a no-frills, no-distraction free text editor. Zen-styled too!

I love text editors, it’s a long-time habit: most of the time I code in PHP and write articles on Smultron and WriteRoom much better than I do with Word (or OpenOffice, so to speak).

So when I came across OmmWriter I was curious: “Another one to add to my text-ed collection?”.

OmmWriter (beta) from Herraiz Soto & Co draws a lot from Zen concept: simple yet effective.
You just download it and … there you are: a relaxing interface with nothing but your text.

OmmWriter is not just a text editor since it allows you to insert font style and size, but it saves to plain txt files; native and default file format .omm is still there, if rich text format is needed.

According to a Zen garden you can choose the background image and music, but besides this you can really type with no distraction whatsoever: just concentration on your ideas.

Nice & clean design, nice features – I really appreciate their web site too.
