Free Tier: No. Offers a 7-day free trial.
One-Time Purchase: Mac ($49.99), Windows ($29.99), iOS ($9.99). No subscription required.

How to Use

  1. Open the app and create a new document.
  2. Start typing. Use Markdown syntax for headers, bold, and italics.
  3. Press Cmd + D to toggle Focus Mode.
  4. Use the "Syntax Highlight" feature to visually identify adjectives, nouns, and verbs.

Important Notes

  • Minimalism: iA Writer lacks advanced features like databases, tables, or complex formatting. It is intentionally stripped down.
  • Sync: You must use iCloud or Dropbox to sync your documents; there is no proprietary cloud service.
