About
iA Writer is the plain-text editor that defined distraction-free writing on the Mac. The current sentence stays dark while the rest of the document fades, syntax is styled rather than marked up, and everything is stored as an ordinary text file you can open anywhere. It is deliberately narrow and does that narrow thing better than anything else.
