# The Simple Writing App
iA Writer removes distractions. Giving you a calm, focused, writing space, so you can express yourself clearly.

# Focus
Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, helping you stay in the flow.

# Start
Don’t worry about the format. First, write in plain text. Then preview in HTML.

# Organize
Search, sort, and quickly swap between documents from different clouds.

# Customize
When you tap and hold a key in the command keyboard, you’re given the chance to choose your own layout. Rearrange your keys, or pick new ones from the extensive list.

# Search
You can open documents and launch frequent actions in no time with the new Quick Search. It lives in the keyboard so it’s always close at hand.

# Work
iA Writer includes an inverted light-on-dark-mode, perfect for working day and night.

# Clean
Spot superfluous adjectives, weak verbs, repetitive nouns, false conjunctions and clean your text of the usual rumble.

# AI in Technicolor

Whether you proofread with Apple Intelligence, or paste from Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT, the generated text now bursts onto the page with a colorful gradient. It looks as artificial as its origins. Think of it as a game: you got help, now make it your own.

We also made it easy to tell different human contributors apart. They appear in subtle tones. And you can choose a preferred color for saved authors in settings.

Reference material stays dimmed. Use this to see the changes you made to a downloaded contract, to track the progress since your first draft, or when you’re not sure how a text was created. 7.3.4 Feb 9 This update fixes a few small bugs. It includes all the great features in iA Writer 7.3:
