iA Writer: A Practically Ideal Writing Environment

“I thought TextEdit was simple until I tried Writer” - Erik Spiekermann

Innovative Writing Technology

  • Convert Markdown to Microsoft® Word 2007 .docx, and back again
  • Auto Markdown subtly formats your text on-screen without taking your hands off the keyboard
  • Focus Mode (patent pending) helps you write one sentence at a time, one thought at a time
  • Reading Time tells you how long it takes to read your text

“A better tool doesn’t make a better craftsman, but a good tool makes working a pleasure.”

Features

  • Focus Mode (Command-D)
  • Full Screen (Control-Command-F)
  • In-app preview panel (Command-R)
  • Auto Markdown
  • Reading Time, plus word and character count
  • Custom typeface, carefully set for optimal readability
  • Easy-to-find strong blue cursor
  • Real-time iCloud sync with folder support
  • Ready for Retina displays
  • Markdown ⇄ Microsoft® Word 2007 converter

Note

  1. Currently ONLY LATIN ALPHABET LANGUAGES, GREEK AND RUSSIAN are officially supported (NO Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Hebrew, Arabic etc support… yet).
  2. Writer has no settings: with Writer you cannot fumble with fonts and colors. All you can do is write.
  3. Writer uses plain text files, such as .txt and .md in “UTF-8” encoding.
