Writerly Status
Thursday 11 September, 2025
An updated version of Writerly for iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 has today been submitted to the App Store for review. The update is targetting release for 15 September 2025, when iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 become publically available.
What's New for Version 2.50, build 1757934766
- Added the "AI Toolkit" in-app purchase (requires iOS 26/macOS 26)
- Book Suggestions. Tell the AI what aspect of creative writing you want to study and it provides a suggested reading list
- Brainstorm Buddy. AI acts like a creative partner that you can talk to in natural language. You can brainstorm plot ideas, develop concepts, or solve story problems through conversation with the AI
- Character Creation. AI can expand a simple character idea into a detailed profile. For instance, given a brief description (e.g. "a young wizard from a humble background, eager to prove herself"), the AI can produce a fuller backstory, personality traits, strengths, flaws, and even ideas for the character's arc
- Prompts. Expanded AI writing prompts
- Exercises. Generate creative writing exercises
- Updated map-related functionality to use latest Apple MapKit APIs
- Created a new universal icon that supports Apple’s Liquid Glass design language, ensuring a consistent appearance across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and the App Store
