Design for iBooks Author
Design for iBooks Author is a template and design toolkit for Apple's iBooks Author application, which allows users to create and format ebooks for Apple Books. This tool assists authors and designers in building professional-looking interactive ebooks with custom layouts, typography, and visual elements. It targets independent publishers, educators, and content creators who want to quickly design multi-media ebooks without starting from scratch.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about this app in our search results. Based on the bundle ID and name, it appears to be a specialized design tool for iBooks Author, which itself is no longer actively maintained by Apple—iBooks Author was deprecated in 2014 in favor of Apple Books for Authors and other publishing platforms. If you still rely on this app, we recommend contacting the original developer to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that iBooks Author itself is no longer supported and the broader ebook publishing landscape has shifted toward other tools, you may also want to explore modern alternatives such as Vellum (for fiction and non-fiction ebooks), Apple Books for Authors (Apple's recommended replacement), or Calibre (free, open-source ebook management). If an Intel-only build is all that exists, it will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 from macOS in September 2028.
