iA Writer is a text editor developed by the design company, Information Architects (iA). It was initially released on September 22, 2010 for iOS (iPhone and iPad), May 28, 2011 for macOS and 2018 for Microsoft Windows through a Kickstarter campaign. The app has been "downloaded 600,000 times by everyone from hobbyist writers to the bestselling author Augusten Burroughs." The lack of settings has been subject to some criticism, but has been a declared component of the core concept and, among other things, is part of the reason for the success of iA Writer.
