In short

Lampwick Studio is a utility for writing, compiling and playing Inform 7 interactive fiction on Mac and iPad. It runs the Inform 7 compiler and Inform 6 on the device, with no internet connection needed, and projects sync through iCloud Drive. One notable point is that it packages finished stories as Blorb files with cover art and bibliographic data.
