About iA Writer

iA Writer is the original Markdown writing app. Keep your hands on the keys and your mind in the text. No buttons, no popups, no title bar. Write first, format later.

# Professional Text Tools
iA Writer is not yet another layout program. It's an app designed for writing and nothing else. iA Writer has less features and more focus. It doesn't fill the screen with fonts, styles and toolbars. Every function deepens the focus.

# Hyperfocus
Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, keeping you in the flow. It helps you re-feel, re-think, and re-write your text until it says exactly what you mean.

# Authorship
Did you write this? Or Claude? iA Writer tracks and shows what you wrote and what you pasted. Your words speak in black and white. AI stands out in technicolor. As you type, you make it your own. Don't let AI speak for you.

# The Elements of Style
Cut noise, think clearly. Style Check flags cliches and clutter. You decide what to cut and what to keep. It helps you put everything in its right place.

# Super Simple
Structure text with Markdown. Embed links, photos, and tables, and see them in preview. Export to PDF, to Word, and to HTML. Your file stays in plain text and works everywhere.

# Smart Keyboard
Quick Search offers outline and fast access to other documents. The configurable ?-Key unlocks every function of the app.

# The Original Writing App
For 16 years, iA Writer has earned awards and praise. Four-time App of the Year winner and 2025 Apple Design Award finalist. Over three million writers have used it to focus on their words.
