iA Writer: Get Focused

iA Writer is the original Markdown writing app. Keep your hands on the keys and your mind in the text. No buttons, no popups, no title bar. Write first, format later. # Professional Text Tools iA Writer is not yet another layout program. It’s an app designed for writing and nothing else. iA Writer has less features and more focus. It doesn’t fill the screen with fonts, styles and toolbars. Every function deepens the focus. # Hyperfocus Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, keeping you in the flow. It helps you re-feel, re-think, and re-write your text until it says exactly what you mean. # Authorship Did you write this? Or Claude? iA Writer tracks and shows what you wrote and what you pasted. Your words speak in black and white. AI stands out in technicolor. As you type, you make it your own. Don’t let AI speak for you. # The Elements of Style Cut noise, think clearly.
