Plain-text Markdown writing app with Focus Mode, made by iA
iA Writer is a writing app for plain text with Markdown. You write in the editor and see the styled text in Preview. Focus Mode fades everything except the sentence or paragraph you are working on. Style Check marks fillers, clichés and redundancies, and runs on your device. Authorship shows which text you typed and which text you pasted, including text from AI.
It runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad. Documents are files in a local folder or in iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. You can export to HTML, PDF and Word (.docx), import Word files, and on Mac, iPhone and iPad post drafts to WordPress, Ghost, Medium and Micro.blog.
Prices are one-time payments per platform, in USD: Mac $49.99, Windows $29.99, iPhone and iPad $49.99 (App Store only). Mac and Windows have a 7-day free trial and a 20% education discount when bought from iA. The maker says iA Writer launched in 2010 and has helped over two million writers (writer page).
