iA Writer

iA Writer is built on a clear conviction: the screen should disappear and only the writing remain. No panels, no widgets, no visible toolbars — just text on a neutral background, with typography refined to the millimeter to reduce cognitive load.

iA Writer is a minimalist text editor for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, designed to provide a focused, distraction-free writing environment. The interface is stripped to the essentials: text on a white or dark background, no visible toolbars, no side panels. Writing happens in Markdown, with optional rendering showing a preview of the result. Focus mode highlights only the sentence or paragraph being written, dimming everything else. Advanced features include reading statistics, writing pace check, margin notes, export to HTML, DOCX, PDF and ePub and cross-device sync via iCloud and Dropbox. iA Writer Plus, the subscription plan, adds document templates, integrations with Ulysses and WordPress for direct publishing, and AI features to summarize, rewrite and expand text with an integrated assistant. It's a tool valued by writers, journalists, academics and bloggers who work primarily with text and want a serious, no-frills writing space.

For writers, journalists, bloggers and academics who want a focused, essential, distraction-free writing space to produce quality texts without visual interference.

iA Writer is purchased with a separate one-time license per platform: $29.99 on macOS and Windows, $49.99 on iOS (includes iPad and iPhone). There are no subscriptions for the base version. The iA Writer Plus plan, which adds templates, integrations and AI features, costs $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, available as an in-app purchase. A free trial is available.
