Author | Basic 4+

Desperately needed a writing app that I could use for free and was so happy to find this one! I often find myself becoming overwhelmed if text begins to appear cluttered and thoughts start getting tangled; thankfully this app offers a concept map which easily organizes different ideas, as well as a journal so I can more loosely write without complicating the main document.

The app is easy to use, the tutorial video is straightforward and concise in teaching how to use features I never knew I needed and have not yet seen in other free writing apps I’ve used in the past; the design is simple yet elegant; and when I was unable to access the app, I was able to contact the developer and not only did I get a response that the issue would be resolved but I also recieved notice when the app was back up and running again! And none of my work was lost because of the issue!

And this is only the free version! I plan to one day buy the full version to see what else is included with that package as I think it’s safe to assume there are even more well-thought out tools for writers.

I highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words, they are vey much appreciated. The main difference with the full version is that you can export to PDF/Word etc. but of course you should feel free to simply copy from Author | Basic. Very happy to have you as a user :-)

Well designed and with a lot of features that you would not expect, and at a very reasonable price point. The free version (this one, labeled Basic) is extremely usable out-of-the-box, with almost all features fully enabled except for exporting to other formats. I’ve used or tested a number of similar packages like IA Writer, Drafts and Obsidian, and while each have excellent features, I especially like how Author and Drafts are excellent at “staying out of the way” while you are writing.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Author is beautiful. Author is fast. And Author is powerful. A beast of an app in a beautiful UI, this app combines elegance and expediance. I was instantly hooked by it's clean look. But, it was the introductory video that revealed the veritable powerhouse that lies beneath its exquisite exterior. I must emphatically declare my unwavering adoration and give Author a 10/10!

Thank you so much for your kind words.
