iA Writer for macOS

Get Focused. iA Writer removes elements of distraction to provide you with a calm, focused, writing space.

Interface Designed for Distraction Free Writing

Markdown formatting keeps your fingers glued to the keyboard.
Full Screen – a blank canvas, makes you to concentrate on your text, nothing else.
Embed Images, Tables and Text Files as needed via drag & drop or via powerful Content Block Syntax

Focus Mode – dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, helping you stay focused.
Typewriter Mode – keep your text centered as words flow and the canvas scrolls on.
Syntax Control – syntactic highlighting as an editing feature, writer’s hack.
Style Check – your personal editor-in-chief (minus the attitude) on your device, carefully reviewing your text for redundancies, clichés, filler words and your custom patterns as you type.

Light or Dark Mode – manually set the mode to match your work environment.
Preview – see your work rendered (in real-time) in one of the built-in templates, preview PDF Print/Export (also in real-time).

Formatting – quickly format text, create a list, add a table and more.
Text Statistics – to help reaching your writing goals. We count characters, words, and sentences for you. Reading Time estimates how long it takes to read through your document. Set your Word Goal and choose whether to always show the word count, even when in full screen.
Preview – quickly switch templates, and switch between web and PDF previews of your work.
