The report card
Best for a quiet full-screen writing space
OmmWriter is a full-screen writing space with backgrounds, music and typing sounds, sold for $9.99 once on the Mac App Store. It has only basic writing functions, it's Mac and Windows only, and the site footer and release dates point to 2017 to 2019.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $9.99 one-time, under a year of the category's $9.75 middle subscription plus a little. There's no subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed, and the Mac App Store sells it for a one-time $9.99. |
| Features | C | Full-screen writing, backgrounds, audio, five typefaces and exports. It has no outline, project or collaboration tools, but covers the basics. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but you install it and start typing with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Mac and Windows only. The FAQ rules out iPhone, iPad, Linux, Kindle and Chromebook. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who OmmWriter is for
- Fits if you want a quiet full-screen page and nothing else
- Works for people who write on one Mac or PC and like background sounds
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want outlines, projects or collaboration, as none are listed
- Not for you if you use a phone, tablet or Linux, because there is no version for them
- Tight if you want to try first: no free plan or trial is listed
- Watch out: the site footer reads 2017 and the Windows version dates to 2019, so it may not be kept up
Good to know
Good for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A writing app at its plainest is a page that saves what you type.
You could make the core of OmmWriter for yourself: documents. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $9.99, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A library of sound you would have to license.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. OmmWriter’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
