The mere presence of all those options can be a distraction. It involves tinkering with fonts, type sizes, widths and so on. There’s a wonderful passage of text written by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams where he describes the creative ways he prevaricates with his work. This simplicity allows me to focus on writing. There’s also a focus mode that can hide everything except the paragraph or sentence you are working on. If that’s too much, you can enter a full screen mode and the menu bar disappears from sight. It’s the nearest digital equivalent to writing with a manual typewriter on a blank sheet of paper. A blank screen that I’m filling with my words and a small status bar at the bottom of the display. I’m using it now to write this post on my Mac.Īll I can see on the display is the Mac’s built-in menu bar across the top. Unlike word processors and other fancy writing tools, iA Writer has a stripped down interface.
IA WRITER WINDOES UPDATE
That’s because the update addresses the one aspect of the software I wasn’t comfortable with. While iA Writer was already my favourite writing tool, the newest version makes for a better experience. Late last year the software was updated to version 5.2. I have installed it on my MacBook, iPad and iPhone. It is a simple text editor app that runs on both iOS and MacOS. This might sound odd because iA Writer isn’t a word processor. It’s been my main word processor for the past seven years. Left to my own devices I prefer to use iA Writer over any other writing tool.
