I remember the blog said that the new app would be released by the end of 2024
Anything new will be in the Announcement section or on the blog. Or splashed across the top of the screen like with any update.
L&L typically won’t say much until they announce it. Realistically, I’m guessing mid '25. Their stated aim is to have all three platform versions released together.
“Before the end of 2024, we’ll be launching a new writing app on macOS, Windows and iOS. We’re now putting the call out for beta testers. Read on if you’d like to learn more and participate.”
any idea?
Above still applies. Some hermit in a cave on a mountain may be able to give a better idea of timing of the release.
This also still applies.
I wouldn’t hold back on any plans that you might have, just to wait for this to be released. Use whatever software you are using now. It will be announced when they feel it’s ready to be released. I’m guessing that they need to get the software ready, and work out the marketing for the product and other complicated logistics / release windows. I would not be surprised if this comes out at the end of the year or in 2026, but I’d love to be wrong because it looks very interesting.
I’m not trying to be obnoxious, but any news about the new “simpler” application?
No rush; I’d rather have it solid than too soon.
Thanks!
There will be news when it’s released. L&L typically don’t discuss new releases until they go live.
I wouldn’t go holding your breath.
Unfortunately, Liquid Glass and macOS/iOS 26 added six months of development time (and also made me want to stop coding for macOS/iOS and retire). The OS 26 versions now need to go into testing for a while.
stop coding for macOS/iOS and retire
…hopefully a break over the Christmas period has sufficed? Thank you for your great efforts @KB .

It did until I came back and had to spend more time working around Apple bugs! But I’m (mostly) joking - no plans to retire just yet! Fingers crossed Apple gets back to its old self with OS 27 and 28. (And thanks for the supportive words.)
