(If you haven’t already, you might want to read my initial impressions of the app, which I penned soon after it was released last month.) The more I use it, the more I like it. In fact, I’ve become so enamored with its aesthetic that I’ve spent a ton of time trying to replicate it across a few of my most-used apps–including the Readable bookmarklet I use for reading (long) web articles in a browser–and, I think it’s safe to say, I’ve succeeded. This was the easiest part, and required no real work from me given that I had purchased Nitti Light–the font used by Writer for Mac and iPad–well before the Mac app was released. I fell in love with the font when I first saw it in iA’s iPad app, and when I realized it was available for purchase, it was a no-brainer for me. For my money, Nitti Light is the perfect font for long-form writing and reading. iA Writer gives you the essence of pure writing by providing an unobtrusive interface that lets you concentrate on your text. I spent forever trying to suss out the font color from the application’s bundle, but ultimately came up empty. I looked in all the NIB and PLIST files, but couldn’t find where they were defining the font color.įinally, I decided I would just fire up the DigitalColor Meter and see if I could grab it that way. While iA Writer was already my favourite writing tool, the newest version makes for a better experience. Late last year the software was updated to version 5.2. I have installed it on my MacBook, iPad and iPhone. The reason I didn’t go this route from jump is because I was worried about the anti-aliasing throwing me off from the true color (especially given that Writer doesn’t let you modify the font size). It is a simple text editor app that runs on both iOS and MacOS. Then, it dawned on me that even at its set font size, I could just paste in a unicode glyph with a large solid area and see what the meter gave me. But if I add a new footnote reference in the middle of these both footnotes, this new one will take the number 2 and the old ones appears renumerated. In the footer well see appearing the footnotes numbering with 1 and 2. I tried multiple glyphs, and while the anti-aliasing still was a mild hindrance, there was no doubt I had determined the font’s specified color: #424242 (rgb(66,66,66)). The Document View iA Writer is an extremely opinionated app it chooses your font, it chooses your text size and margins, and it chooses the colours and styles used to display your markup. This is myfirst footnote then I add another This is the second footnote.

Considered to be a gold standard Markdown editor, iA Writer is available for devices running macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android operating systems. ![]()
