It might initially come across as a stripped down document editor, but this app is much more than that. It is built for “pure writing”. Think of it as something similar to “pure cinema”. If you can’t figure out what that is, then it probably isn’t for you.

I have been using this app for over a year now, and nothing comes even close. I would just like to thank the developers behind this app for creating a beautiful experience called iA Writer. Needless to try say I tried out a bunch of apps before sticking with this one, and every one of them tried their best to annoy me in some way or the other. This one simply works.

I am amazed by the quality of this app , there are so many apps I go to and then keep coming back here to IaWriter , it truly focuses on the essentials of a writing app and doubles down on those unlike any other app out there Yes its expensive but well worth the money if you write a lot or want to write a lot

This update fixes a few small bugs. It includes all the great features in iA Writer 7.3:
# AI in Technicolor
Whether you proofread with Apple Intelligence, or paste from Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT, the generated text now bursts onto the page with a colorful gradient. It looks as artificial as its origins. Think of it as a game: you got help, now make it your own.
We also made it easy to tell different human contributors apart. They appear in subtle tones. And you can choose a preferred color for saved authors in settings.
Reference material stays dimmed. Use this to see the changes you made to a downloaded contract, to track the progress since your first draft, or when you’re not sure how a text was created.
