Writerly

Russell Archer

A well-regarded creative-writing companion whose new on-device Apple Intelligence toolkit assists with brainstorming, research, and character creation. The AI is a real, useful addition, but the app's heart is its handcrafted writing curriculum rather than an AI writing studio.
