Writerly
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.
- +On-device Apple Intelligence AI Toolkit for brainstorming and character work
- +Mature, well-rated (4.53 over 112 reviews) with rich handcrafted writing content
- +Free across Mac, iPhone, and iPad
- −AI is a secondary layer on a writing-craft course, not a drafting studio
- −Generative writing capability is limited compared to dedicated AI writers
