About
iA Writer is the plain text editor professional writers reach for when the words matter more than the tool. Focus Mode dims everything except the sentence you are writing, Syntax Highlight colours nouns, verbs and adjectives so you can hear the rhythm of a sentence, and Style Check quietly flags cliches, fillers and redundancies as you type. Authorship marks pasted and AI-generated text, so you always know which words are yours.
Version 8, released in June 2026, brought a refreshed Liquid Glass interface, a command palette and document outlines in Quick Search. Files stay as portable Markdown on your machine, and export to HTML, PDF and Word is built in. It is a one-time purchase per platform: $49.99 on the Mac, with no subscription attached.
