sc6058.linux.en.png

VST plugins support
ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration.

Cross-platform support
ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others.
To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development.

UberWriter

promo-image.png
With UberWriter (5 $) it’s simple to write beautiful documents in Markdown.
First of all, it doesn’t give you any preferences. Huh? Yes, I might add some in the future, but for now, it’s kept simple on purpose: It should faciliate your writing and not distract you from your task by searching for the right font (the right font in this case is obviously Ubuntu Mono) or font colors, headline sizes and so on.

It offers a «distraction free» mode (focus mode) that highlights your last sentence and gives you a typewriter-esque feel. UberWriter offers out of the box spellcheck, and a very clean interface. There is a fullscreen mode which gives you a whole, white page.

And the best: Inline Markdown highlighting, because it’s great. Please watch the screencast to see it in action, because words fail to describe it. It’s a remarkable simple idea but works very well.
