more This is really great writing app with all what you need for concentration on text and your thoughts. But I have suggestion: could you add more Touch Bar commands (show/hide library, preview, focus, concentration, syntax etc). All existing touch bar commands are easy to write via keyboard but it is not always easy to keep in mind keyboard commands for functions which I noted. It would be great if you will add additional commands. Thank you.
Developer Response Thanks for your kind review and for taking time to share some feature requests with us. ☺️ Don't be shy to reach out to us in future with any additional feature requests. 📧: writer+featurerequest@ia.net

# AI in Technicolor
Whether you proofread with Apple Intelligence, or paste from Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT, the generated text now bursts onto the page with a colorful gradient. It looks as artificial as its origins. Think of it as a game: you got help, now make it your own.
We also made it easy to tell different human contributors apart. They appear in subtle tones. And you can choose a preferred color for saved authors in settings.
Reference material stays dimmed. Use this to see the changes you made to a downloaded contract, to track the progress since your first draft, or when you’re not sure how a text was created.
