Werdsmith: Writing App vs Paper – Writing App + Notes Usage & Stats
Writing is hard. Werdsmith makes it easier.
Werdsmith turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch into a powerful writing studio that helps you break through writer's block and motivates you to write.
BEAT WRITER’S BLOCK
Add your project to Werdsmith and our built-in AI, Ghostwriter, will learn about your characters and plot. Whenever you get stuck, it can write the next line of your story for you, in your own writing style.
BUILD YOUR WRITING PRACTICE
Tell us when you write best and Werdsmith will help you build a daily writing ritual. You can set daily or per-project writing goals and track them as you write. You’ll be writing more than ever.
FOCUS ON WRITING
Instead of formatting options that distract you from writing, Ghostwriter formats your work as you write, automatically adding fonts, chapter titles and even keeping your chapters numbers in order.
Werdsmith can fit into your existing writing process, or you can treat it like a fresh start. It's up to you.
We’re writers from 175 countries who’ve written over 4 million projects using Werdsmith. Join us!

Things you might want to know:
Werdsmith supports iOS devices on iOS 17+ and Macs running macOS 12.1+.
You can use all of Werdsmith's features for free, but there are limits, for example in the number of projects you can add, the number of writing prompts you can create, or the amount of time you can spend in Novel Mode or using app themes. You can increase or remove these limits by becoming a Werdsmith member. Sync, backup and sharing features are optional, but require a free Werdsmith account.
If you choose to become a member, you’ll be charged through your iTunes account at the end of your one-week free trial period, unless you cancel your membership at least 24 hours before it begins. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage, upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings or by going to your App Store account settings. Keep in mind that any unused portion of your free trial period is forfeited if you purchase a membership before the end of the trial. Please read our Privacy Policy at werdsmith.com/privacy and our Terms of Use at werdsmith.com/terms. Feel free to contact us if you need help!
A big thanks to the writers who've supported Werdsmith over the years. We couldn't do it without you.

# STORY
Read it here → papereditor.app/story
# HIGHLIGHTS
· Gorgeous writing space
· Silky-smooth typing
· Deep personalization (Pro)
· Markdown or Plain Text
· Syncs with iCloud
· Integrates with TextExpander
· Publishes drafts to Medium, WordPress, Ghost, or Micro.blog

# PRO FEATURES
Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.
While trialing Pro Features you might occasionally see a popup. Just press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.
Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your iPhones and iPads that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to iPhones and iPads. Macs require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).
The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it go to the Settings app, scroll down, select Paper, and under Purchases toggle Show Lifetime Option.
In case you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license) go to Paper’s page in the App Store and press the rounded button with the price next to the Yearly subscription option (or next to the Lifetime purchase).
