    • Relation to iA Writer

    The developer credits the Mac application iA Writer as being the inspiration for UberWriter, and would like to see the two programs become compatible:

    A lot of inspiration for UberWriter comes from iA Writer, which is (sadly) only available for Mac OS X users to this date. However, if you like UberWriter and own a mac, please consider buying iA Writer as I do not want to do any harm to them.
