1.0.0 June 22, 2026

It's finally here: OpusWriter 1.0, and I can't thank all of you early-access members enough. The bug reports and the feature ideas have been instrumental in getting us here. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Where a lot of the other updates packed in lots of new functionality, 0.9.9 β†’ 1.0.0 has been mostly about stability improvements, fixes, and subtle changes. But here are a few recent additions:

Write the way the moment calls for

We already had Typewriter and Focus modes and a Dual Screen option. Now a Continuous mode flows all your chapters and scenes into one scroll, so you can read and edit the whole book at once.

A more compact layout

A new Compact option (Workspace Settings β†’ Display) slims down the top header and the workflow bar to give more of the screen to your manuscript.

Plenty more on the way

Don't worry, there's a long list of features planned, and y'all are adding to it almost every day. LOL.

A small favor

If you're enjoying OpusWriter and would be up for a short testimonial that could go on the website, I'd be grateful. Please reach out to me at wesley@opuswriter.app. Feel free to include an attribution like "[your name], author of [your book or series]," or however you'd like to word it. Thank you all again! ~Wesley Watts
