macOS? Where we’re going we don’t need macOS.

Highland always within reach

An iPad/iOS version of this app has been the main request from writers using previous versions of Highland. Now, Highland Pro is a universal app that works on your Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Any .highland file can be opened, edited, and exported on any of these platforms.

Differences with macOS


Even though almost all of Highland Pro’s macOS features are available for iPadOS and iPhone, some of the menus are in a different location.

On iOS, you’ll find the menus for Revisions, Write Sprints, Title Page, Header & Footer Builders, and Print under the More Actions button in the toolbar.

Hi! I’m the More Actions button! I am large, I contain multitudes.

You can type /clear to delete all of your /lookup searches from your document, or you can use the Clear Lookup Text button in the three dot ellipsis menu.

Since there’s a little more space on an iPadOS screen, the Revisions and Write Sprint buttons are in the toolbar, next to the Share button.

More Actions menu on iOS


To change the Template of your document, or any of your formatting preferences, tap the button to switch to Preview, then open the right sidebar.

Just like when Highland Pro on macOS opens this sidebar for Preview, your Shelf is replaced by a menu with options for your document preferences.

Everything from how you want Scene Headers to appear, to what extra elements (like Notes or Sections) you want to show up in your PDF.
