## What is Pagi?

Introducing Pagi - the perfect writing app for morning pages! 

Start your day off right with morning pages in Pagi. It features a special focus mode to highlight your current sentence and gives you the perfect environment to capture your stream of consciousness. With Pagi’s word counter and progress bar, you can easily track your progress to meet your writing goals, whether it’s 1,500 words for three pages, 750 words, or whatever feels right for you. Plus, you can customize the colors and choose from 3 different fonts to make it yours.

Pagi is available on macOS and iOS, so you can start your morning pages wherever you are.

STORAGE

By default, Pagi stores everything you write in iCloud Drive to sync it with your other devices. You can disable this to only store your files on your device, or not at all, depending on your preference. You have the option to export everything you write on a per-file basis, and files from Pagi will show up in the Files app. It's able to open and edit any plain text file and uses the .txt extension for saved files by default. 
This can be overwritten when saving.

ABOUT

The name »Pagi« /paɡi/ is Indonesian and means »morning«.

### 5/5 — Great App for Morning Pages

*2025-09-06, version 2.0.4*

Honestly, I’ve struggled to do morning pages for a while on my own. This app makes it seamless and easy!

### 5/5 — Private, Simple, Perfect for Morning pages

*2025-06-11, version 2.0.2*

As far as all the apps I went through this is the only writing app I could find that doesn’t “collect data”. In these uncertain times with Ai mining, I’m glad this app exists. Thank you Devs!

### 5/5 — A Daily Delight

*2025-03-20, version 1.2.1*

Pagi is a simple and elegant utility. The ease of use makes me look forward a morning brain dump. There's no unnecessary bells or whistles. It has features that help you be motivated and focused like a progression bar for word count or highlighting the sentence you're working on. I really enjoy getting to customize the theme too, I've got a neon space theme going on right now. I appreciate that the developer is considerate and responsive. They made sure that exporting the markdown file so I can add it to my obsidian vault would be smooth.

### 1/5 — Lack of File Reopening Feature for txt/md

*2025-03-16, version 1.2.1*

I hope you'll consider adding txt/md file opening support on iOS and macOS soon. Users should have the ability to access and edit their existing files.

### 5/5 — Simple and Elegant

*2023-03-20, version 1.1*

Easily the best way to get morning pages done on any device. Removes the distractions that other writing apps have and jus let gets out of the way so I can write and clear my head. 

Great as a regular old text editor too with great themes and writing modes.

### 5/5 — Unlocked my morning writing habit

*2023-03-10, version 1.5.2*

Pagi has been the key to finally unlocking my morning writer. It's a purpose-built tool to do one thing, and it does it amazingly. Combining the best aethestic notes from iA Writer and Omm Writer, alongside dedicated tools for Morning Pages goals like an unobtrusive progress bar, it's beautiful, focused, and functional. A beautiful zen writing experience that finally got me writing every morning, and made it pleasurable.

### 5/5 — Finally!!!!

*2023-03-06, version 1.0*

My wish has been answered! A simple yet elegant way to do my Morning Pages on my iPad.
