On iPad, the app can now be fully controlled with the trackpad. I’ve been testing this version for quite some time (it’s the update I originally mentioned in my Modular Computer story back in April), and there are some fantastic details worth pointing out. IA Writer, my favorite text editor for all Apple platforms (which I still use as the central piece of my Markdown collaboration workflow via GitHub), has been updated today to version 5.5 both on Mac and iOS/iPadOS. However, for many users, I suspect iA Writer’s impeccable design and thoughtful features will outweigh its lack of certain power-user features.
The update doesn’t go as far as an app like Obsidian when it comes to internal links.
iA Writer 6, which is available on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, is a response to those changes that fits comfortably with the app’s existing feature set and design. However, the Markdown text editor market is changing rapidly, with tools for creating interlinked notes and documents in a variety of ways that have quickly become table stakes for text editors and note-taking apps alike. That’s as true of iA Writer 6 today as it was with previous versions. They’re easy to access, but they aren’t a distraction. Best of all, the app’s features stay out of your way while you’re writing. The app’s design is top-notch, and it offers a feature set that makes it among the best options for writing in Markdown. IA Writer has long been one of the premier text editors on Apple’s platforms.
