Whether you're sending a tricky work email, applying for a job, posting to social, or finally writing that bio, Guided Writer does the heavy lifting. You bring the idea; it handles the structure, wording, and tone—right on your iPhone, in private. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick what you're writing and answer a few quick prompts—who it's for, your goal, and the tone you want. 2. Tap generate. Guided Writer drafts it for you in seconds. 3. Tweak, save, and share or export. Done.

Keep your entire outline in a single portable file you control. No account, no server, no lock-in, future-proof. ORGANIZE IN UNLIMITED DEPTH Build trees as deep as you need. Expand, collapse, and reorder topics with just a few taps. Every topic can have its own notes. Write as much or as little as you like. SEARCH EVERYTHING Search titles or note content at once. The tree expands automatically to show every match in context, so you always know where a result lives in your outline. CROSS-LINK TOPICS Link any note to another topic using the outlook: link format. Tap to jump directly there. Tap the back arrow to return where you came from. OPEN FILES AND URLS Tap any file path or URL inside a note to open it. Connect your outline to existing documents in the folder: PDFs, photos, or anything else you reference. COLOR LABELS Assign a background color to any topic: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, or Purple. The color flows down to all child topics that don't have their own.
