There are different backgrounds to choose from, and also ambient and keyboard sounds, all of which have been chosen to help you focus on the work. Instead there are just some discreet buttons to one side, which fade out when you type. OmmWriter - like Q10 - keeps the focus on the text, with simple, minimal backgrounds and no visible menu. The app is available for Windows, Mac and iPad, with the desktop variants being 'pay what you want' (minimum Rs.250), while the iPad version costs Rs.

People either love OmmWriter, or hate it.

The app is great for writing in a focused manner, with no distractions and, for that purpose, the typewriter sounds paired with cheap earphones work better than expensive noise cancelling headphones. You can make notes, set a timer (which also measures how many words you wrote in each period) and you can customise the background and text colours, as well as set a typing sound - the default is yellow text on a black background with typewriter sounds enabled. It comes with a spell-checker, and you can enable a word and paragraph count at the bottom of the screen in a discreet strip. There is no menu bar and there are no formatting options on screen.

Q10 works in full screen mode to take away any distractions. This free, simple, and yet powerful Windows text editor is loved by many for how simple it is. Whether you're a full time writer, or you want to work on essays for school, minimal text editors can be a godsend. But a full word processing app like MS Word can overwhelm you with options - and price tag. When you are writing anything that is longer than an email, basic text editors start to feel very limited.
