Highland 2 is a better way to write.

We’ve taken the tools we built for writing screenplays and made them work for almost every kind of document you write. From novels to blog posts and school reports, Highland’s clean design and innovative tools help you focus on words, not formatting.

With Highland 2.5, we’ve refined every bit of the app while adding incredible new features like Revision Mode and custom themes. 

“Highland is just a cleaner, purer way to be creative.” — Phil Lord, Writer/Director of The Lego Movie, 21 & 22 Jump Street

“You won’t find a better app for getting your writing done than Highland 2.” — Jeffery Battersby, iMore

More Power. Less Distraction.

Highland handles formatting automatically, so you can spend your time finding the perfect word, not the right menu command.

You’ll love working in an editor designed for writing, not mimicking a printed page.

When you want to see the layout, quickly toggle between your text and a preview of the finished document.

With one click, Highland turns your words into a perfectly-formatted document ready to print or export.
