Writing is hard. Werdsmith makes it easier. Werdsmith turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch into a powerful writing studio that helps you break through writer's block and motivates you to write. BEAT WRITER’S BLOCK Add your project to Werdsmith and whenever you get stuck, the app can suggest the next line of your story for you, in your own writing style. BUILD YOUR WRITING PRACTICE Tell us when you write best and Werdsmith will help you build a daily writing ritual. You can set daily or per-project writing goals and track them as you write. You’ll be writing more than ever. FOCUS ON WRITING Instead of formatting options that distract you from writing, Werdsmith formats your work as you write – automatically adding fonts, chapter titles and even keeping your chapter numbers in order. Werdsmith can fit into your existing writing process, or you can treat it like a fresh start. It's up to you. We’re writers from 175 countries who’ve written over 4 million projects using Werdsmith. Join us! --- Things you might want to know: You can use all of Werdsmith's features for free, but there are limits, for example in the number of projects you can add, the number of writing prompts you can create, or the amount of time you can spend in Novel Mode or using app themes. You can increase or remove these limits by becoming a Werdsmith member. Sync, backup and sharing features are optional, but require a free Werdsmith account. If you choose to become a member, you’ll be charged through your iTunes account at the end of your one-week free trial period, unless you cancel your membership at least 24 hours before it begins. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage, upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings or by going to your App Store account settings. Keep in mind that any unused portion of your free trial period is forfeited if you purchase a membership before the end of the trial. Please read our Privacy Policy at werdsmith.com/privacy and our Terms of Use at werdsmith.com/terms. Feel free to contact us if you need help! A big thanks to the writers who've supported Werdsmith over the years. We couldn't do it without you.

I love stories

I wanna be a YouTuber plssss
Werdsmith is soooooo amazing!!! 😻 I have always had a passion for writing so this app helps me grow my vocabulary and jot down ideas. And there is this feature that is great and horrible at the same time. It’s called ghost writer. Ghost writer is a feature where it will look at what you have written and come up with a sentence or 2 based on what you wrote. It’s great because it helps expand your vocabulary and have very great sentences in your story. But, I’m sure you’ve realized that if you were planning to go big with your story (like me) or turn it in for school, (like me) ghost writer would make it non-original and it even would be like cheating. If you are planning to do any of those things I don’t recommend using ghost writer. ( you also get 30 ghost writers for free and have to buy the rest) but over all this app is so amazing and has one more feature. You can have a set time for when the app reminds you to come on and write, and you can give yourself a goal for how many words you want in your story. My goal is 50,000 and I’m at 3,192 words. There is also a page where there are little tabs for you to write ideas, phrases, words, and e.t.c. That you wanna use. That is why I rate the app 5 stars and I think it is above an average writing app. I’m 9 years old.

I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks and I absolutely love it. I just started a new book that I’m really excited about and this app helps me keep track of what I’ve written and when to write so I don’t forget. However, I’m confused on how they save it. Like, if my phone is damaged or lost or has a virus, can I get it back? All it says is that it’s saved to my device, but where? On Werdsmith? Pls respond to this ASAP bc I really love my work and I don’t want to lose all of it forever. Also, I sometimes have really bad writers block and I kinda wish they added a little thing to unblock it. I still love the app, but I wish it could help me out when I’m stuck. I don’t want to rely on ghostwriter bc then it’s not my work. I understand they have another app called unblock it, but the reviews are really bad and I don’t want to spend money on an app I might not like. Plus $100 a year subscription is crazy. Understand u want to make money, but people won’t spend their hard earned money on something super over priced. Having a ton of people buy something really cheap is better than having almost no people buy something really expensive. Just a suggestion. Still love the app though!!! Definitely recommend!!!!

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. You have three options in terms of saving your work. By default, everything you write is saved to your device automatically as you type. There is no save button, the app does it for you. If iCloud is enabled on your device, a backup of your work will also be saved to iCloud. You can also create a free Werdsmith account on the app's Profile screen. If you do that, a copy of your work will be regularly saved to Werdsmith's servers. That way, if you ever lose your device, you can sign back in to your account and all your work will be downloaded back onto your new device. If you have any questions about this, there are articles in the app's Help section that talk about this. Hope that helps! - Nathan

Absolutely perfect, just two problems I’m hoping to figure out.

Werdsmith is absolutely amazing. I’m almost a teenager and hoping-if possible- to finish this book I’ve been working on for awhile, and publishing my own copy to have, of course with the help of my parents and a publishing agency. But I’m not sure how to connect it to real pages and being able to publish for myself, and my friends. I’ve gone over all the buttons, and I’m wondering if I’ll have to rewrite (possibly by hand) my book and connect it to another app. I’m sure I’ll figure it out though, plus ghost type is amazing! it has given me a lot of ideas that I reword and use in my book. Honestly I love everything about this app. But this one time I got hacked so I was forced to delete Werdsmith for a week. When I came back my whole other story was gone. Which had atleast a couple thousand words. I understand that once you delete the app most of your progress is gone. But the thing is I’ve deleted this app before but my stories were saved. Is it because of the hacking? Is not could this be fixed? Otherwise everything about Werdsmith is amazing, thank you and I hope this helped some people.

Great mobile word processor!

I’ve used Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and other mobile word processors. This is the only app I’ve been able to stick with for more than a few days (it’s been a few months). It’s simple; which I like. If you want bells and whistles, you might have to look elsewhere. But I find that’s what makes this processor far better than the others. You simply jump into a document and start writing. There’s very little to distract yourself with. You can write and save multiple documents—they are well organized on your dashboard. It has a dark-mode, which is key for me. The idea generator (which uses AI to either create a writing prompt or auto-complete a section of your own writing) is pretty good. It definitely keeps you writing if you feel stuck; even though you will most likely end up revising the suggestion it gives you. It does what it sets out to do. I personally feel this is the best word processor for writers like me—easily distracted procrastinators, who struggle to sit down and focus. You will find it much easier to “face the blank page” while using this app.
