Did you actually have a look at the Ommwriter website? http://www.ommwriter.com/. It's in beta, and free.

I was sceptical too, but I downloaded the app to give it a go. Sure it seems to be full of "toys", but IMHO the stroke of genius is in the ambient background music. Once I got started with an Ommwriter session I was engrossed within 5 minutes, no distractions. The music combined with the serene background image really does help you focus (and I mean really---try me).
