What’s New
Version 2.44
- Bug fix: Fixed a sizing issue with the macOS dock icon
- Bug fix: Fixed a macOS Sequoia 15+ issue where a "Writerly would like to access data from other apps" prompt was incorrectly displayed on each launch. This was related to passing data between the main app and widgets (Writerly does not access data in other apps)
- Refactored all widgets for both iOS and macOS to look cleaner and handle the display of long text more effectively
- Refactored the navigation system with a new look and to make use of the latest Apple APIs
- Changed the minimum supported version of iOS from 15.0 -> 17.6, and for macOS from 12.0 -> 14.6
Ratings and Reviews
Intriguing app which should be a great help. And: typo alert!
I am intrigued by this app (which is far too buried on the App Store!) and happily paid for the extra content. I noticed a typo in your penultimate paragraph in the Clearing section (“form” instead of “from”) and given the nature of this app I thought you’d want to know! 🙂
Fantastic app to aid the writing process.
I used this app to clear my head and provide some much needed structure for my creative writing attempts.
I'd thoroughly recommended to other writers.
Inspiring app
I have found the app is a great way to help me start a daily writing practice though so far I have barely scratched the surface of the exercises
One little niggle in the “year of writing promos” is the excessive number of days where four prompts are given.
Invariably I find the days with multiple prompts less inspiring and more arbitrary than the single prompts and those will be the days I break my writing streak.
Would it be possible to include the option for a preference for the number of prompts per day?
