Writing goals & streaks

Set a daily word-count target and track your streak across sessions, with an activity heatmap showing when and how much you write.

A daily goal is a simple way to stay consistent over the long stretch a novel actually takes to write.

Setting your daily goal

From your account’s writing settings, set a target word count for each day. Your progress against that goal shows on your dashboard and on each project’s home page.

Streaks

Hitting your daily goal keeps your streak alive; missing a day resets it. Your streak counts by your account’s timezone, so a day boundary lines up with when your day actually ends, not a fixed UTC cutoff.

The activity heatmap

A calendar-style heatmap on your dashboard shows your writing activity over time, with darker squares for higher word counts, so you can see your consistency at a glance, not just your current streak.
