Other programs I’ve tried: Google Docs, Focuswriter, VsCode, Scrivener, Writemonkey, Evernote, Roam
Ommwriter’s design is maybe my favorite design of any software application out there. I sometimes just go into the program to relax and destress from a busy day, even if I don’t have anything in particular to write. It’s a really incredibly immersive experience that makes it a lot easier for me to work on writing tasks that require a lot of focus and that I easily tend to bounce off of.
I feel like you might enjoy Typora? Well, at least if you like markdown.
Edit to elaborate what it does:
A hybrid markdown editor (type markdown, see it rendered inline) with beautiful theming, great support for local workflows with images, zen-like typing mode and good support for the additions often found alongside markdown (syntax-highlighting, extended tables etc.)
Edit #2: see also this comment, I think they did a better job than my comment.
Thanks for this recommendation! I very much appreciate the minimalist philosophy of this program.
That said, to anyone who has, like me, strong short-sightedness, note that Ommwriter’s largest font size option is ~18 pt, and there’s no other option to zoom in, either. (In contrast, I e.g. browse LW on 150% zoom.) I ultimately requested a refund because I didn’t find this font size comfortable.

I second this! I love writing essays in Typora, great for note taking as well

What would you say makes Ommwriter better than Scrivener?
