Word Writer 2 is a fast, native word processor for the Mac that speaks Microsoft Word's language. Open .docx files exactly as they were written, edit them on a real page, and save them back as .docx — headings, lists, tables, images and links all stay intact.
MICROSOFT WORD COMPATIBLE
• Opens and edits Word documents (.docx and .doc) with their formatting preserved
• Saves as .docx, so colleagues on Word, Google Docs or Pages get exactly what you see
• Also works with .odt, .rtf, .txt and .html, and exports PDF and Markdown
IMAGES
• Insert photos and illustrations from your Mac
• Resize with the handles and drag to reposition, right on the page
• Pictures travel with the document and are still there when it is opened in Word
TABLES
• Insert a table by choosing rows and columns from a grid
• Type into cells, press Tab to move on, add rows as you go
• Tables round-trip cleanly to Word
STYLES
• Title, Subtitle, Heading 1–3 and Body — the same paragraph styles Word uses
• Apply a style from the toolbar and the whole document stays consistent
• Bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight, alignment, lists, indents and line spacing
HYPERLINKS
• Insert, edit and remove links from the toolbar or with ⌘K
• A small bubble shows where a link points; ⌘-click opens it in your browser
• Links survive the trip to Word and back
WRITING
• Live word, character and page count
• Find and replace, undo and redo
• Comments, page setup (paper size, orientation, margins), print and PDF export
• Recent documents and a clean, native Mac interface
FREE AND PREMIUM
Everything above is free. Two features are unlocked by a single one-time in-app purchase, Word Writer 2 Premium:
• Inserting images into a document
• Saving as .doc and .docx
There is no subscription and no account.
Runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. No account, no subscription, no ads. Your documents stay on your Mac.

this is a horrible app

This app barely scrapes the minimum that is used to write, let alone make a sentence. It wont let documemts be opened when sent to microsoft computers. even being sent to another mac if the mac doesnt have the same program it wont open. I wanted an easy free app you always have to restore it or buy the 9.99$ to the upgraded version.
Mini simple fast app

So I need just a quick way to open docs (doc,docx,rtf etc). This app is little bit more complicated than I need. But still it is the quickest and simplest. But please if you position this version as Free but not Demo, - remove annoying pop-up that appears every lanch with «plese update message». I’ve got it, may be will update, but I don’t need edit doc option for now, and want some free solution. Thanks.
Ugh.

The only way you can save anything is if you go to “Print” and then go to “Save as PDF” and then it only lets you do it once then you have to mail it to yourself. Also won’t let you go past 55 pages. I upgraded to pro because I thought that was the issue and LITERALLY NOTHING CHANGED, definitely a SCAM!.
I paid for the Pro BUT it doesn't change anything....

Still nothing! I have rebooted, restarted word writer and there has been nothing to tell me to do anything special. The Go Pro stopped poing up to restore purchase so I am stuck having paid for it and not getting it.
This update is about steadiness.
• The app no longer disappears without warning. One unexpected condition inside the document engine used to take the whole app down with it — and anything you had not saved went too. The engine now reports the problem and leaves your document open.
• Settings lists every one of the 33 languages Word Writer is translated into. Only 11 could be picked by hand before; the rest worked, but only when they happened to match the language your Mac was already set to.
• The upgrade window has been redesigned. It now says plainly what Premium unlocks, and that it is a single purchase rather than a subscription.
