Wordkount is a web-based writing app designed for novelists, short story writers, and anyone working on long-form writing projects. It combines a clean, distraction-free editor with smart progress tracking, streak motivation, beta reader sharing, and automatic Dropbox backups.
It's designed to be simple enough for someone writing their very first story, and capable enough for a seasoned author working on their tenth novel. No downloads, no setup, no monthly subscriptions to start — just open your browser and write.
Hi, I'm Sim. I built Wordkount because I wanted a writing app that actually helped me write, rather than one that got in the way.
I've been writing my first novel for a while now, but found it tough to build a consistent writing habit. Wordkount is my answer to that problem. An app designed around the simple truth that frequency is freedom.
If you have feedback, ideas, or just want to say hello, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
