FAQs

Purchase ≠ lifetime

Purchase is like buying software in a box. You get the current version, designed for a specific operating system and its version. Minor updates are free, while major updates may incur costs. The timeline for updates is uncertain. iA Writer experienced nearly a decade of free updates, so you might get lucky, or not.

How we work

We are a small indie outfit without investors, runway and other limiting constraints. Everything we do is 100% bootstrapped. While our products are available for purchase on the app stores, we want to offer direct sales and subscriptions to help us continue development across multiple platforms. Thank you for your support.

Prices and currencies

All our prices are in USD with regional adjustments, depending on the platform.

Use on multiple devices

You can use Writer across multiple devices of the same type, for example on your Windows computer at home and a work PC.

Beta testers

If you already own Writer we would welcome your help as a beta tester, during which you get early access to new features. All feedback helps make our products better and shapes future development. Acceptance into the beta program is at our discretion.
