  • Relationship Graph

Names

  • Apply Pseudonyms to Prose

Try Pro first

A 14-day free trial unlocks all of Pro, on your own book. Nothing is charged when it ends; the Pro tools lock again, and everything you made with them stays.

One purchase, shared

Buy Sgeulai Pro once and it’s yours on both your Mac and your iPad, as long as they use the same Apple Account. It supports Family Sharing, so up to five other people in your family group can use it on their own devices at no extra cost.

Updates and upgrades

Updates within the version you own are free. A new major version is an optional, discounted upgrade for people who already own Pro; if you don’t take it, you keep the version you bought.

What you need

Mac: macOS 26 or later.
iPad: iPadOS 26 or later.

The small print

$49 is the US price. The App Store shows the price in your own currency, and purchases and refunds go through Apple. Your words always come out free: Markdown, DOCX and the JSON backup never need Pro. See the FAQ for more, or how Sgeulai compares with other writing apps.
