This, coupled with the 7-day free trial, should make it easier for those still curious about Typed to try the app without too much worry. That said, one factor clearly in Typed’s favor is that Realmac is an established company with a good reputation, and it offers a 6-month “no questions asked” return policy for software. Byword is far superior, especially if you’re running a blog. But it’s still not enough, especially for the price. My favorite thing about the app was Zen Mode. Typed is all over the place, from its unappealing custom font, which is a combination of Lato and Gentium Book (both open source), to its strange soundtrack. While Typed doesn’t offer a unique experience, I would have at least expected a consistent one. Noizio, a free app that provides you with a peaceful soundtrack, combined with Byword is a far better choice. In its current form, Typed is simply not worth its $25 asking price. The sky, rain, and ocean scenes were the best. The other sound scenes were okay, but I found most of them annoying or too minimal. Typed offers a soundtrack of eight sound scenes for Zen Mode. Thankfully, you can turn translucency off completely in the app’s Preferences, which also stops the interface from lagging so much. The sandy color scheme has a bit less translucency on it, and the dark scheme has none at all, which is appropriate. While I don’t see it as a distraction, I don’t think it helps my productivity. That could be because it’s considered distracting. It’s something you won’t find in Byword, TextEdit, or iA Writer. Transparency is always a welcome feature in any app, and it adds a nice additional dimension to Typed.
In the default white color scheme, you can see your desktop blurred behind the background. In little areas, it doesn’t provide focus, but rather distracts the user with unnecessary alterations in font size, a colored cursor, and a side menu that pops up when the mouse is moved, among other things.
#REVIEW OMMWRITER FOR MAC#
Read More.Typed for Mac tries to be minimal, but lacks a lot of the distraction-free elements I am used to from Byword and others. Also, the original soundtrack was much, much better than the later edition's. Mac products will be prioritized, as this was originally a Mac only program. Formatting is very limited, as is file type saving. Longer writing in general can freeze it, which is a huge issue for me. Autosave can be very flakey, especially if you're typing longer pieces of writing. Negative: It does have some big drawbacks though. It's relaxing to write in, and the ambient sounds and music along with key sounds are nice. It's a beautiful, distraction-free, and moderately customizable experience. Positive: Ommwriter's biggest appeal is how it looks and sounds. I'd recommend it most for morning papers and not anything serious. Autosave failing isn't that big of a deal to me, as you should always manually save frequently anyway, however, frequent freezes with longer writing makes this best only for short session of writing that will be transferred over into something else afterwards. However, functionality, due to the focus on distraction-free writing, is very limited. Summary: It's beautiful, undeniably so, and creates a very peaceful environment.
