Word Tracker

I typed in word counter into Apple and this came recommended sadly it has no word counter function.

I only JUST downloaded this app, but I can already tell it probably won’t meet my needs bc of what it requires you to input when setting up a new project. I don’t have a daily or long-term word count goal. I simply want to track how many words I write each day in my day-to-day work so I have the metric. I put in 1 million words with a deadline in 2030 just so I could enter SOMETHING, but then it shows me my daily goal (a measly 300 words when I probably write 1000-2000/day), which is actually DEmotivating. I don’t want to have to do math just to guesstimate what I have to put in, and there’s no way to hide the daily goal that’s calculated. I want an option where I’m simply tracking total word count without a specific goal or end date in mind.

I have been using this for years but wish it had ONE crucial feature. I wish we could type in “new words today” and have it added to the total, rather than having to type in the over all total. Like how NaNoWriMo does it. Then it would be The Perfect App.

Asks for number of words in project, then asks for “words to exclude” and presumably this is a number of words? I tried numbers, and the “Done” button was still greyed out. Tried letters: greyed out. I couldn’t even get past the start-up screen. The web page doesn’t help, says, “ Set the target and a base (if you want to ignore any words from your document such as headers or notes).” But what’s a base? Is it a number? Numbers didn’t work in that field, so is it a word? Words didn’t work either.

Not sure how to report a bug but my calendar is wrong on the app for 2022 — days every day is a day behind so October 2nd is a Monday on the app calendar…October 2nd is actually a Sunday. This seems to just have occurred and is really ruining my deadlines! Otherwise I love this app! Help!

I really enjoy this word tracker app!

Love this app. It does exactly what I need it to do. My only wish is that I could specify how many days a week I plan to write. I take weekends off since writing is my full-time job, so it would be awesome to factor that into my word count calculations. But otherwise, the interface is simple and smooth and the info is useful.

Ive heard great things about this app, but I sadly have no way to confirm because it won’t open every time I go to download it! ;-;

This app is simple, intuitive, and not bogged down by fluff. I just need something to help me manage my project and it’s as easy as track what I have typed for the day, input, and move on. You couldn’t ask for a better app as a writer.

very functional, very straightforward app—no frills or distractions. i can track many projects at once and switch between them easily. the only feature i wish the app included is the option to “archive” your finished projects, so they don’t show up in your main drop-down of open projects, without just deleting it entirely (i like to look at the progress i made!) otherwise this app is precisely what i was looking for and has been working well for my purposes for weeks now.
