EGWord is a Japanese word processor program for the Apple computers. It was known for handling Japanese text before MacOS was officially translated into Japanese. As of 2023, it is developed and sold by Monokakido, and is also compatible with macOS Sonoma.[1]

Due to the closing of developer Ergosoft's packaged software business on January 28, 2008,[2] development and sales of the program ended with "EGWord Universal 2'' being the final version. On September 4, 2017, Monokakido announced the acquisition of the development assets of EGWord Universal,[3] and in March 2018, a version compatible with macOS High Sierra was released on the Mac App Store.[4]
