The Simple Writing App

iA Writer removes distractions. Giving you a calm, focused, writing space, so you can express yourself clearly.

Focus

Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, helping you stay in the flow.

Start

Don’t worry about the format. First, write in plain text. Then preview in HTML.

Organize

Search, sort, and quickly swap between documents from different clouds.

Customize

When you tap and hold a key in the command keyboard, you’re given the chance to choose your own layout. Rearrange your keys, or pick new ones from the extensive list.

Search

You can open documents and launch frequent actions in no time with the new Quick Search. It lives in the keyboard so it’s always close at hand.

Work

iA Writer includes an inverted light-on-dark-mode, perfect for working day and night.

Clean

Spot superfluous adjectives, weak verbs, repetitive nouns, false conjunctions and clean your text of the usual rumble.

Shape

Customize your templates and export to WordPress or Medium, HTML, Microsoft Word (.docx), or PDF.

100% Text

Embed links, pictures, tables and text files in plain text and see them in preview.
