Best writing apps for the Mac 2024

Mac Studio with iA Write

Scrivener 3

Writing is a magical journey that involves research, creativity, and skill. Long are the days when writing meant using a pencil and paper or old-school typewriter. Today, writing involves sitting down at a computer and letting the mental juices flow.

Whether you're looking to type a term paper or plan on crafting the next great novel, these writing apps for Mac will get the job done. They work on the best Macs, including the latest MacBook Pro.

Ulysses App Example Final

Ulysses offers a full array of tools for writers of any kind. This app is easy to pick up and start using but offers a wide array of customization options for everything from writing to exporting. Choose to work in Markdown or create your own markup style. With Ulysses, you can also create your own writing environment with background colors and fonts. Then, when it comes time to publish, you can export your work in various formats, including plain text, DOCX, and ePub. You can also publish your work to WordPress sites and Medium.

Your projects sync with iCloud between Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with Dropbox support also available. The app also recently added support for Touch ID to keep your documents safe.

This app is available for $5.99 per month or $29.99 per year. In addition, there are discounts for students. All packages come with a seven-day free trial.

Write, note, and journal with this popular app that's been a best seller for many years.

Pages App 2022 Final

Apple's own writing app, Pages, lets you create different types of documents on all of your favorite Macs, like the 2021 MacBook Pro . There are more than 60 templates in Pages, covering just about every kind of writing, from short essays to research papers. There are even templates for items like business cards and flyers. In addition, you can add images and shapes, lay out your documents in different styles, and more. You can also secure documents with Touch ID if you have one of Apple's MacBook Pros with a Touch Bar.

The Pages app also makes it easy to collaborate with other people. Multiple people, whether they're on macOS, iOS, or even Windows, thanks to iCloud, can collaborate on a document simultaneously. You can share collaborative documents publicly or with specific users, see who is in the document at any time, and follow their cursors as they edit the project.

Bear App 2022 Final

A relatively new app compared to the rest of the list, Bear might seem simple, but it offers a great deal of flexibility for handling text. Bear is good for both notes and to-do checklists, but its support for Markdown, a variety of themes, and simple organization make it a great tool for many different kinds of writing. Add images, files, code blocks, and more to spice up your work and give it more context.

In terms of options, you've got few. First, choose how to sort your documents, pick a theme, pick your font, and even control fine-grain details such as font size, line height and width, and paragraph spacing. Then, subscribe to Bear Pro for $1.49 per month to sync your documents between Bear for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. A yearly subscription is $19.99.

Image

Beautiful and powerful, Bear is a terrific app worth your consideration.

iA Writer 2022 Final

iA Writer's gone through quite a few changes over the years. Where the previous Pro app tried to break down your writing into a flow between notes and writing and editing, the modern iA Writer focuses on having you write in plain text, with full Markdown support. However, that's not to say that there aren't advanced features, as there are quite a few. For example, Syntax Control breaks down your writing to show you the structure, highlighting adjectives, nouns, conjunctions, etc. Link to other documents in iA Writer to combine them into a single project, or link to images or spreadsheet files to see them in iA Writer's Preview screen in several different templates.

Like other apps on this list, iA Writer lets you publish to blogs, in this case, WordPress and Medium. You can also export your work in Markdown, PDF, HTML, and Microsoft Word.

Image

Modern and powerful, iA Writer is a terrific app that requires a one-time purchase only.

Scrivener 3 2022 Final

Scrivener is nothing short of a full-featured suite of tools for writers. Novels, scripts, essays, research papers, it doesn't matter because Scrivener supports all of them. Organize your ideas on digital notecards and lay them out on the corkboard to see how your work fits together. Import images, PDFs, and other media you've used as research to refer to it later. Keep your work segmented for easier organization and edition while maintaining its structure with the Binder. And each part of the app can be customized to create the exact writing environment you need. It's actually hard to encapsulate just how many options Scrivener gives you.

When you're done, compile your project into a single document and export in formats like DOC, rich text, PDF, ePub, Kindle, and even export for other apps like Final Draft. Away from your Mac? You can also check out Scrivener for iPhone and iPad, which lets you work on your Scrivener projects no matter where you are.

Although Scrivener is pricey, it offers the perfect tools for anyone looking to write and publish a masterpiece. This is a one-time purchase, unlike other options on this list.

Image

Going to Hollywood by plane or in mind? This is the writing app to consider.

Byword 2022 Final

"Simple but effective" is the best way to describe Byword. With this Markdown-focused writing app, you start with a blank document and just write. It's a minimalist app with only a few settings to fuss with, and Byword really only cares about getting you writing. Your documents sync between Mac, iPhone, and iPad using iCloud Drive, though you can also store them in Dropbox.

When it comes to publishing, you've got options for PDF and HTML. You can also post what you've written to blogging services such as Medium, WordPress, Tumblr, and Blogger; or you could send your document to Evernote.

Image

Bloggers will want to consider this terrific app available for a relatively low price.

Which app is best?

Ulysses is your best bet if you want a jack-of-all-trades writing app with WordPress, Medium, and iCloud support. Try the similar Bear first if you're not willing to shell out $29.99 per year. You may not ever need its advanced features, which would give you a terrific writing app for free.

But if you're serious about creative writing and you want a stalwart companion on your best Mac to help drag stories out of your brain, Scrivener's your best bet. Its learning curve is steeper, but its powerful features make that climb worthwhile.

The best Mac apps for writers and authors

Best writing apps for the Mac

creative writing apple

Last updated 2 years ago

You do already have Pages on your Mac — and on your iPhone and iPad too — and it is a world-class word processor. Pages tends to hide its features away, preferring to make it look simple and basic, but it is powerful.

Then, too, if you had to bet on which other word processor was on a given Mac, the smart money would be on Microsoft Word. It's still a titan in the industry, though it's fallen a long way since it was both ubiquitous with, and essential for, all writers.

Pages is free and Word is now a subscription app that costs from $70 per year . It is still possible to buy Word outright, and that starts with what's called a Home edition for $150.

Before you spend that, though, take a look at the specialist writing tools which make the Mac extraordinarily useful for writers.

OmniOutliner

OmniOutliner is, as the name stresses, an outlining tool. It's also very good at outlining everything from novels to non-fiction tomes. However, it's really rather more than that, as its core strength is in expanding ideas.

Whether your idea is for a story, or your boss has thrown five events at you to create, OmniOutliner lets you jot down any thought. Dump every idea you've got into it and then you can arrange, massage, grow it all until you've got a complete, working project.

OmniOutliner

OmniOutliner is available on both Mac and iOS, beginning with an Essentials version that costs $20 on either platform.

On the surface, Drafts 5 is as basic a notetaking app as you can get — but that's specifically to make using it quick. Whether you're just learning the app or have used it for years, you can get starting writing fast.

Then while that could be all you need from Drafts 5, you also get the ability to decide what to do with text once you've written it. Get it written in Drafts, then you can tell the app to send it as an email, to post as a blog, or any of countless actions that are available.

Drafts 5

Drafts 5 is free to download and use, but those actions require a Drafts Pro subscription, which costs $20 per year .

Ulysses is also an apparently simple text editor that hides a lot of power. In this case, the strength is in how it's as much a writing environment as a basic word processor.

Rather than having documents that you create and then have to manage yourself, Ulysses treats everything you write as one document. It's all divided into books and chapters and topics as you need, but open Ulysses and you have immediate access to everything you're writing.

Ulysses

Ulysses is a subscription app that costs $50 per year for use across Mac, iPhone and iPad.

As a word processor, Scrivener is simply enjoyable to write in. Then as you write more, its ability to organize your work — and let you rearrange whole chapters — is far better than that of Pages or Word.

You're able to see, for instance, just chapters 17 and 33 of your novel. You can see those side by side, or one after another. You can set writing targets for the book, or just for this session.

Then it's ability to take all of your writing and output it ready for book printing, ready for sending to publishers, is famous. And so is how you can store any research — notes, drafts, weblinks, PDFs, audio, video, and more — in your book.

Scrivener

Have quick access to everything you need to refer to, yet also have none of that be shown to your readers.

Scrivener costs $49 for the Mac .

Long before the Mac introduced Focus Mode, iA Writer had its own version. In iA Writer, if you choose, you can have all of your writing fade to grey — except the sentence you're working on right now.

Then, again optionally, iA Writer can highlight adjectives, verbs and so on, surfacing your use or over-use of them. It's about giving you the ability to see the wood for the trees, except when it's trees you want to see.

The iA Writer app is built around Markdown, meaning that formatting and styles are done with text commands right in the text.

iA Writer

It costs $29 for Mac .

Final Draft

Screenwriting app Final Draft has more competitors now, but it remains a leading choice for film and television writers. It's a word processing app, and can be used for letters and prose, but its strength is in how it automates screenwriting formats.

Final Draft

Scripts are blueprints for a dozen or more different departments in a film's production, and to serve all their needs, very particular formats and page layouts have been developed over decades. Final Draft automatically formats as you write and it means you can concentrate on your story, characters, and dialog.

Final Draft normally costs $249.99, direct from the developer . Note, though, that there are regularly sales throughout the year.

Buying a range of writing tools

No one writing app covers everything that a writer will need. As well as major apps like Final Draft, and Pages, there are also many utilities that writers can benefit from.

Check out the subscription service Setapp which includes some major titles such as Ulysses, but then also utilities such as Mars Edit for blogging.

A subscription to Setapp usually costs from $9.99 per month, but for a limited time an annual license can be had for 36% off through the AppleInsider store .

A good list. I’ll have to check out some of these. One thing though; don’t say “Buy for $XX/yr”. If you pay a yearly fee you aren’t buying it, it’s a subscription. You are renting the software. And I don’t rent software. 

Slugline 2 is awesome 

You left Highland 2, which in my opinion is the  most powerful and flexible screenwriting software for Mac. Also great for novels and other types of writing. 

is still a great app too.

Good sampling but I would have included Textastic in this review as well. I use both iAWriter and Textastic on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Textastic has some extra bells and whistles that are particularly appealing to code developers. I really feel that Pages is undervalued. I’m as guilty as anyone for discounting Pages for heavy duty document development, e.g., multiple contributors collaborating on a single multi-chapter document, managing comments, table of contents, index, dynamic caption links, etc. Whenever I’ve tried to use Numbers to replicate what I’ve done in Excel I found that it was entirely possible with minor differences so I expect Pages is comparable to Word in a similar manner. There are obviously things that Excel and Word can do that Numbers and Pages cannot, but I think Microsoft is benefiting in a very large way from the long term momentum it enjoys in the marketplace.

What makes a good writing app?

Put simply, what makes a writing app good for you will depend on the kind of writer that you are. 

  • If you’re an author , you might be interested in a writing app with outlining, planning, and formatting functionalities.
  • If you’re a student , you’re probably in the market for a writing app that blocks out distractions while you’re writing.
  • If you’re a screenwriter , you’ll want a writing app that’s specifically dedicated to writing screenplays.

Or, if you’re none of the above, worry not: that’s why we built this directory of writing apps. Whatever you need, we’ve gathered the outstanding writing apps of 2024 across multiple categories (drafting, editing, note-taking, etc) and platforms (Android, iOS, online browsers, etc) in one place. Feel free to use the filters to make your quest for the perfect writing app even easier!

So what are the best writing apps of 2024?

We can now put an end to the age-old debate of which writing app is best: Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs ? 

The answer, of course, is neither! Hopefully, this directory will point you towards a much better match that actually fulfills your writing needs. We objectively evaluated each writing app based on four metrics.

  • Performance: How seamlessly does the writing app do what it’s purported to do? How good is the user experience, from top to bottom?
  • Features: How many bells and whistles are built into the app to augment its use?
  • Accessibility: Is it widely available on many different operating platforms (e.g. iOS, Windows, mobile, desktop, etc)?
  • Value: Is it worth the cost that it would take to download it?

Here are some general recommendations to give you a headstart.

Mac Writing Apps are software applications designed to enhance and streamline the writing process on Apple's Mac computers. 

These applications offer a range of features, including word processing, text editing, and organisation tools, providing writers with a user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities. With features such as spell-check, grammar correction, and formatting options, Mac Writing Apps cater to various writing needs, from creative writing to professional document preparation. They contribute to a more efficient and enjoyable writing experience, making them valuable tools for writers, students, and professionals on the Mac platform. 

With Mac writing apps, users enjoy a sleek, intuitive interface for seamless navigation. The clean layouts and user-friendly menus enhance the writing experience, allowing for focused creativity without distractions. 

The minimalist design fosters a productive environment, making it easy to access essential tools and concentrate on crafting compelling content.

Writing apps tailored for Mac are optimised to fully leverage the platform's capabilities. They run smoothly, utilising Mac's hardware and software integration for enhanced performance. 

This optimisation ensures swift response times, quick loading, and efficient multitasking, enabling writers to work effortlessly on complex projects without experiencing lags or slowdowns.

3- Integration With Mac Ecosystem

Mac writing apps seamlessly integrate with the broader Mac ecosystem, providing a cohesive experience across various applications. 

Users can easily share files between writing apps and other Mac programs, fostering a unified workflow. 

This integration extends to iCloud, allowing writers to access documents from different Mac devices, ensuring continuity and accessibility irrespective of the device used.

Many Mac writing software provides collaboration features that make group tasks easier. Real-time editing, commenting, and version tracking make it easier for writers, editors, and other stakeholders to collaborate effectively. 

These tools speed up the review process by guaranteeing smooth communication and coordination among the writing team members, resulting in a more polished and unified final product.

Mac writing apps offer many formatting options, allowing writers to customise their documents quickly. These apps provide creative freedom while maintaining document consistency, from fonts and styles to advanced formatting features. 

The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing approach enables writers to visualise their work in real-time, making it easier to achieve the desired aesthetic and formatting for a professional and visually appealing document.

Mac writing software frequently has robust writing tools, including grammar and spell checkers, thesaurus integration, and word suggestion functions. 

These tools assist authors in enhancing the quality of their material by detecting and correcting errors, hence increasing overall writing efficiency. 

For example, distraction-free settings and word count tracking lead to a more concentrated and productive writing experience.

4. From Seed to Fruit: ‌Embracing the Stages⁢ of Growth in Apple-Inspired Writing

Apple-inspired writing is a journey that begins with ⁤a tiny seed of an idea and blossoms into a fruitful‍ piece of literature. Just like an ‌apple tree goes through different stages of growth, so⁢ does the process of writing inspired by this marvelous fruit. ​Here, we explore the various stages, from seed to fruit, of ‍embracing this growth in apple-inspired writing.

1. Germination: This is the starting point of apple-inspired writing, where an idea ⁤takes root in the writer’s mind. It’s like planting a‌ seed ⁣in fertile soil, with the ‌hope that it will sprout into something magnificent. During this stage, ⁣the writer‍ explores various concepts, brainstorming ⁢ideas, and nurturing the initial spark⁤ of inspiration.

2. Sprouting: Just as the seed⁢ begins to emerge from the ground, the ideas in apple-inspired writing start to‍ take ‍shape. Writers begin outlining their work, organizing their thoughts, and fleshing out ​the details. This is the time to explore⁤ different angles, research, and gather relevant ⁣information to make​ the writing robust and engaging.

  • Develop characters and plot
  • Create‌ a captivating storyline
  • Research apple-related ‌facts and history

Within each stage ‍of growth, apple-inspired writing gains momentum and purpose. By acknowledging these stages, writers can embrace the process, learn from it, and ultimately produce a bountiful piece of‍ work reflective of the ⁣journey from seed⁣ to fruit.

5. Finding ​Symbolism ​in ⁣Apple Harvest: Unveiling Deeper Meanings in⁢ Your Writing

Symbolism is an essential‍ tool in literary writing that adds depth and layers‌ of⁢ meaning to ‌your work. By incorporating symbolism, you ‌can take​ your readers ‍on⁤ a‌ journey beyond the⁣ surface of your ‌story, uncovering hidden⁤ themes‍ and messages. In this section, we will explore how to ‍find symbolism specifically within the context of an apple ‌harvest, a rich and evocative theme that can lend itself to countless interpretations.

1. Delve into‌ the Apple as⁣ a Symbol : Apples have long ‍been associated with a variety of meanings across different‌ cultures and literature. Reflect on what the apple signifies to you personally. Is‍ it a representation of temptation, knowledge, or even love?⁢ Understanding the underlying connotations the apple ‌carries will help you infuse your writing ​with deeper symbolism.

2. Explore Nature’s Cycles : The apple harvest is not just about picking ripe⁢ fruit from⁣ the trees;‍ it symbolizes ⁢the‍ cycle of ​life, growth, and transformation. Think about how you ‌can use this ⁤metaphor to convey the passage of time, the inevitability of change, or the idea of ‌rebirth. Consider using vivid imagery and descriptive language to evoke the‌ sights, sounds, and ⁣smells of the harvest season, allowing your readers to truly experience the symbolism.

Apple trees, with their remarkable life cycle, provide a powerful metaphor for personal growth and transformation. Just like these trees, we too go through‍ different stages in our⁣ lives that shape us into who⁤ we are.‍ From the tiny apple⁣ seed sprouting ‍into a seedling, to‌ the flourishing tree bearing fruit, ⁤and eventually shedding its ⁤leaves to⁤ start anew, we can draw inspiration ⁣from the resilience and beauty of this ​natural process.

Apple trees symbolize a⁣ continuous journey of growth and renewal. Just as the trees require nurturing, sunlight, and water to thrive,⁣ our personal development also⁢ demands certain ingredients. Here are a few ​lessons we can learn from the⁤ journey of apple trees:

  • Cultivate strong roots: Just as strong roots enable the tree to withstand storms and harsh weather,‌ building a solid foundation is crucial for our personal growth. This involves understanding our values, beliefs, and purpose, which serve as a stable anchor in times ‍of uncertainty.
  • Embrace seasons ⁢of change: Like apple trees, we experience different seasons in life. Each season offers unique ⁢opportunities for⁤ growth and transformation. By accepting and adapting to change, we can​ learn valuable lessons, ‌expand our perspectives, and develop resilience.
  • Bearing the fruits of our ‍labor: Apple trees⁣ offer a bountiful reward for their growth and perseverance – a harvest of delicious⁣ fruits.​ Similarly, our personal journey can ‍lead us⁤ to reap the rewards of our efforts, accomplishments, and‍ personal ​development.
  • Celebrate self-renewal: Apple trees shed their leaves in autumn, preparing for new⁤ growth ⁤in the following spring. In the same‌ way, accepting⁢ and embracing endings, letting go of what no longer serves us, allows us to ⁢make space for new beginnings and personal transformation.

⁣ The journey ‌of apple trees unfolds with grace⁣ and purpose, mirroring our own potential for growth and transformation. ⁣By reflecting on these metaphors and‌ embracing‌ the lessons they offer, ⁣we can navigate life’s challenges⁢ with resilience, cultivate our true potential,‍ and ultimately bear the sweetest fruits of personal fulfillment.

⁤When it⁤ comes to writing⁤ captivating descriptions, incorporating apple imagery ‌can add a touch of enchantment to your​ words. By harnessing the power of sensory details, you can transport your readers to a world filled with ⁤crisp orchards⁤ and tantalizing aromas. Let the ​beauty ⁤of a luscious⁤ apple⁢ orchard inspire your writing and‌ evoke ​a vivid sensory experience⁤ for ⁤your audience.

​⁤ To create an immersive apple-infused atmosphere, consider employing the following techniques:

  • Colorful Palette: Paint your prose ​with hues of vibrant red, golden yellow, and refreshing green, mirroring the rich ‍shades found in a basket of ripe apples, to awaken the visual senses⁢ of your readers.
  • Delicate Aromas: Engage the⁢ olfactory senses by describing the apple-scented air that hangs in the orchard, stimulating your readers’ sense of smell and bringing an authentic edge to your writing.
  • Crunchy Textures: Appeal to the ​sense​ of touch by emphasizing the crispness of biting into an apple and the contrasting smoothness of⁣ its skin. Rely on vivid adjectives to create a tactile experience ⁣that transports readers‌ right ⁤into the ‌heart of an ‍orchard.

‍ By incorporating these apple-inspired ‍elements into your writing, ‌you can transform mere words into⁢ a ​captivating experience that ⁣leaves your readers craving the taste, sight, and smell of the succulent fruit.

Using Apple writing prompts can be a wonderful way to⁢ unlock your creative potential and enhance ⁤your writing skills. These prompts provide ⁣you with a starting point ⁢and inspire you⁣ to ​think outside the box, leading to unique and imaginative stories. Whether you are just starting ​out as ‌a writer or looking to overcome a creative block, Apple writing prompts can help you blossom into a skilled and ‍confident writer.

One of the great advantages of using Apple ‌writing prompts is the endless possibilities they ‌offer. With a wide range⁤ of topics and themes, you can explore⁢ different genres and styles, from fiction to poetry to personal essays. Additionally, these prompts encourage you to think critically and delve deeper into your thoughts and emotions, allowing for introspection and self-discovery. By engaging with⁤ these prompts, you can expand‌ your⁢ vocabulary, experiment with different narrative techniques,⁣ and develop your own unique writing voice.

  • Unlock your creativity with diverse and stimulating writing ‌prompts.

Apple Intelligence summary slide from WWDC 2024

Apple has incorporated its Neural Engine Neural Processing Unit into all Apple processors for several generations, using it for local machine learning such as intelligent photo processing. During its recent Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Apple announced that it is now going use those Neural Engines to bring generative and large language models that can run on-device on its main Apple products. This is classic Apple approach, laying the groundwork well in advance but then releasing a new product feature when it feels it can bring the right “Apple” level user experience and solve customer pain points.

After the first hour of the keynote describing updates to the various Apple operating systems (hey, iPad got an amazing calculator), Apple’s CEO Tim Cook introduced the company’s answer to generative AI—Apple Intelligence. It will be able to run on local devices, but there will also be an Apple Cloud element for more complex queries and even the option to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other third-party generative AI products. This allows Apple users to chose privacy or get additional functionality from third-party solutions, allowing Apple to remain competitive with Microsoft and Google.

Cook indicated that they wanted to build an AI that was powerful enough to be effective, intuitive enough to be easy to use, personal enough to be a true assistant, and be deeply integrated into the Apple experience with privacy incorporated from the ground up. He called Apple Intelligence personal intelligence. Apple Intelligence will be released in the fall on iOS 18, iPad OS 18 and MacOS “Sequoia.”

Not all Apple products will be able to support Apple Intelligence—only Mac and iPad products with M-series processors (all the way back to M1) and last year’s iPhone 15 Pro with the A17Pro processor. In addition to a certain level of TOPs (tera operations per second) performance required for the Neural Engine in the Apple silicon, it also appears that Apple needs at least 8GB of DRAM to hold the genAI models (The A16 Bionic processor from the iPhone 14 Pro only has 6GB of DRAM, but a 17 TOPS neural engine, more than the M1 and M2 processors).

Apple Silicon Support for Apple Intelligence

Because Apple has been incorporating the Neural Engine NPU for several generations of Apple silicon, it allows Apple to run Apple Intelligence on older systems, unlike Microsoft which is requiring new AI PC silicon in order to run Copilot+ features on PCs. This could be a significant advantage for Apple as it rolls out Apple Intelligence to a wider ecosystem already in place without having to build a brand-new ecosystem and installed base as Microsoft is attempting to do. In fact, Apple will support Apple Intelligence as far back as the 2020 edition of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, which used the M1 processor.

The initial applications of Apple Intelligence were rather modest in scope. Initially, it will be used to enhance Apple existing services. But, in conjunction with Siri, it will also be able to take certain actions on your behalf across Apple Apps.

Because Apple Intelligence will be deeply integrated into the operating system and will be able to use your personal context, Apple hopes it will become a tightly integrated part of Apple product interfaces. The company will also be using Apple Intelligence to supercharge the Siri personal assistant, with better natural language processing and onscreen context awareness. Apple Intelligence is also multimodal, including speech, written language and images.

Apple will have an improved Siri using AI for richer language processing and adding better understanding of relevant on-device context. Apple will also add typing as an input to Siri. The enhanced Siri can be used for feature descriptions for control functions or to find information, even across apps. It will also have on-screen awareness of the information on the display screen when in use.

For example, while Apple didn't focus on genAI doing the creative writing for you, the company talked about how Apple Intelligence will be able to rewrite, proofread and summarize existing work. This may be Apple’s way to avoid the issue of genAI replacing creative professionals.

Another example is in Apple Mail, where you can use the genAI function to summarize an e-mail instead of just seeing the first few lines. It can also prioritize important messages and notifications and reduce notifications of less important messages.

One of the more fun uses of this new Apple Intelligence will be the creation of custom AI generated emoji characters, which Apple is calling “Genmoji.” The Image Playground will use a description (text or spoken) describing the image and the style to generate these customized emoji. The image generator can use your own picture library for the image generation. Apple Intelligence will allow natural language image search on photos and videos and allow you to create your own memory movie based on your inputs.

While Apple Intelligence has some distinct boundaries on functionality and privacy, Apple is providing support in Siri for third-party genAI solutions such as ChatGPT. However, the user will have to explicitly grant permissions to ChatGPT. Apple’s writing and images tools, such as Compose, will support ChatGPT for free and allows access to premium ChatGPT subscriptions directly through the Apple interfaces.

With a collection of new API's and AppIntents frameworks it will also be possible for third-party applications to utilize the Apple Intelligence genAI services on device.

The goal of Apple Intelligence is to make your interface with the PC, phone or tablet grounded with personal information and real-time screen information capture. This gives the local AI context using real time and personalized information. Privacy can be maintained by keeping the data on-device.

Apple Intelligence is based on compact large language and diffusion foundation models that can access an in-device sematic index of the personal data. More details can be found on this Apple blog post . The Apple Intelligence on-device foundation model is about 8 billion parameters. Apple uses a Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapter for a mix of 2-bit and 4-bit integer quantization to reduce the model size and memory requirements, without losing accuracy.

If the local model cannot handle the complexity of the request. Apple has created a specialized server for larger models it calls Private Cloud Compute. Apple uses its own silicon for these servers. More details are provided in this detailed blog post from Apple. The process is that if Apple evaluates that the on-device AI is insufficient; it sends relevant data to PCC to process.

Apple has taken a very conservative approach to AI by adding easy to integrate enhancements to existing functions for its Mac, iPad and iPhone products. Support for older products also builds in a larger installed base which will entice developers. What was missing from the supported products was the Apple Vision Pro XR headset. Here’s a place where adding AI support for hands-free task directives would be greatly appreciated. Also, generative images would be even more profound in mixed reality. We will have to wait until the fall release of the Apple Intelligence functions to see the impact on battery life and how it performs compared with Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs.

Activists demonstrate for the Loss and Damage Fund, which provides a flow of money from rich to less rich nations to address the impacts of climate change. Peter Dejong/AP hide caption

Activists demonstrate for the Loss and Damage Fund, which provides a flow of money from rich to less rich nations to address the impacts of climate change.

For years, rich nations have sent money to lower-income countries to help deal with the impacts of climate change. But it turns out, these wealthy nations are finding creative ways to funnel some of that financing back into their own economies. Today, we look at how the climate crisis is reviving a debate over how money should flow from rich to less-rich nations.
