# The Simple Writing App
iA Writer removes distractions. Giving you a calm, focused, writing space, so you can express yourself clearly.
# Focus
Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, helping you stay in the flow.
# Start
Don’t worry about the format. First, write in plain text. Then preview in HTML.
# Organize
Search, sort, and quickly swap between documents from different clouds.
# Customize
When you tap and hold a key in the command keyboard, you’re given the chance to choose your own layout. Rearrange your keys, or pick new ones from the extensive list.
# Search
You can open documents and launch frequent actions in no time with the new Quick Search. It lives in the keyboard so it’s always close at hand.
# Work
iA Writer includes an inverted light-on-dark-mode, perfect for working day and night.
# Clean
Spot superfluous adjectives, weak verbs, repetitive nouns, false conjunctions and clean your text of the usual rumble.
# Shape
Customize your templates and export to WordPress or Medium, HTML, Microsoft Word (.docx), or PDF.
# 100% Text

Simplicity is a hard work

It really is. Amount of efforts the developer team puts in is really amazing. And they do what they do with a thought. Not like picking up a random idea and implementing it because everyone is craving for it. The blogs in their website are worth reading and gives a glimpse of how things run behind the scenes. I love this app. At the downside, I really hope they considered regional pricing for iA writer like they did for Presenter. Also, if one is hopping between Mac and Windows, file syncing is an issue. Integration with OneDrive, Google Drive could solve this issue.

iA Writer has been my note taking companion for more than 5 years now, and I cannot stop recommending it whenever someone is seeking to go beyond the default Notes. The learning curve may be slightly steeper if you want to fully utilise markdown, but the efficiency benefits are more than worth it. Truly helps churning out well formatted documents at the speed of thought.

The new logo isn’t the best and the app needs refinement
nilot27
I’m an avid long time user, but the app needs refinements. Like, you can’t copy and paste images from web or other apps—a feature that’s seamless in iA Presenter. The display of markup syntax while writing is distracting, and it’s difficult to differentiate between heading levels in long texts. It contradicts the idea of laser focused writing. Also, the older logo was nicer; at least, consider adding the letter ‘A’ to the current design.
