7.0.6

January 26, 2024

This update fixes a few small bugs. It includes all the great features in iA Writer 7: How can you tell if a text was written by a person... or by a robot? Sometimes, you can’t. But at other times, something just seems… off. Using ChatGPT, we often don’t even remember ourselves what we borrowed and what we typed. Artificial intelligence is a great assistant. But if we blindly allow it to replace our own thoughts and words, we become the mouthpiece of a machine. We need to make sure that we know what we say. And that we say what we mean. The new iA Writer shows you which words you typed, and which you pasted from ChatGPT or from a friend. It highlights the text you craft yourself and it keeps track of contributors, artificial and natural, so that your voice is what comes through on the page. For over a decade, iA Writer has helped millions of authors find their voice. With iA Writer 7, we’re making sure you keep it. # Authorship - Edits made by AI and other artificial tools are dimmed - Hand-typed text is always shown in full contrast, making it stand out clearly from dimmed, AI-edited text - Edits made by other humans are underlined - Paste menu detects conversations copied from ChatGPT, and offers to automatically mark authorship for your questions and ChatGPT’s answers - Mark As menu makes it easy to mark authorship of selected text - Paste As menu pastes text and marks authorship at the same time - Paste Edits From menu automatically detects changes between the selected text and the pasted text, and attributes the changes to the author you choose - Authorship annotations are saved at the end of files.

Reviews of iA Writer

  • Excellent quality and Outstanding Support

    I have been searching for a long time for an editor that works well with voiceover and voice control. Finding a simple text editor shouldn't be this hard. I have considered iA Writer several times over the years but the price discouraged me from tying it. I really wish I had taken a chance years ago when it was much cheaper. However, I don't regret the purchase at its current price point. I'm also impressed with how quickly I got answers from support before I made the purchase. There are several other apps that haven't responded to my requests at all. Even though this editor is designed for markdown, I have had no trouble using it for LaTeX and other plain text file types. Now I can go back to concentrating on my notes and not fighting with the core tools of iOS.

  • Perfect in every way

    Still the best after over a decade. I’ve been using this as my main writing and note taking app since it first came out. I’ve used many other apps both by Apple and other popular ones and this one is somehow the most powerful yet simplest at the same time. Below I’m leaving a copy of my last review from a year or two ago.

    Solid writing app. You write. It helps you write better. Forces you to focus. Gives you freedom to organize documents how you like. It even lets you tag or just link to other documents to create your own personal wiki. I’ve tried other apps like Obsidian that have some of these features but there are just too many menus and options. This does everything you need and want in a way that keeps you from getting distracted. It’s like having an old fashioned typewriter that has the added benefit of helping you with style and organization. Writing and text is the most important way humans communicate and information architects understand this.

  • Best writing app on the market!

    When I first downloaded iA writer for iOS, I was underwhelmed and quickly requested a refund. After I was unable to find a suitable replacement, I decided to give it another shot, but on my Mac. I quickly realized how many features were available that I wasn’t utilizing. I downloaded the iOS version again and found that it has the same capabilities. Afterwards, I decided to purchase and keep it. iA writer is an a beautiful writing experience. Quattro is one of the best fonts I have used, and the variable replace feature is brilliant. I got into a bad habit of using AI tools like ChatGPT to write for me and I would always get distracted by other apps such as Microsoft Word. iA writer has gotten me back to my roots and has made me a much better and authentic writer. This is one of the most valuable tools I have now, and I own it on iOS, Mac, and Windows. The iA team is committed to what they do, and they do an incredible job. I recommend following their blog! Thank you iA for this wonderful tool. I plan on remaining a customer for life!
