Nisus Writer and macOS Sonoma

The latest versions of Nisus Writer Pro (version 3.4) and Nisus Writer Express (version 4.4) resolve Sonoma system incompatibilities and ensure a smooth writing experience. Many issues have been fixed, including crashes that were triggered by Apple’s new predictive text typing feature.

New versions are available via all channels depending on your original purchase method:
• Use the menu Check for Updates inside the app
Download an update from nisus.com
• Update via the Mac App Store (if you purchased from Apple)

InfoClick and macOS Sonoma

InfoClick initially had issues on macOS Sonoma; crashes during system text decoding could be triggered by certain email content. We don’t know exactly what content caused crashes, but Apple appears to have fixed it.

If you’re using InfoClick on Sonoma we recommend that you update to macOS 14.2.1 or later. You do not need to update InfoClick

Sonoma Compatibility

If you recently updated to macOS Sonoma you likely had trouble with Nisus Writer. The most serious issue is related to Apple’s updated system-wide predictive text typing feature, which consistently triggers crashes in Nisus Writer.

There are a few other Sonoma issues that affect Nisus Writer, including problems using the print dialog. We have a pre-release beta version of Nisus Writer Pro that attempts to fix the most serious of these problems.

We’re very sorry for the trouble! We hope the beta helps while we smooth out other remaining issues.

UPDATE: The beta has been superseded by new app versions that officially support macOS Sonoma.
