Writings

Your writings, organized and easy to access.


Keep your writings organized — searchable, sortable, commentable, editable. Finding an old draft has never been easier with nested labels and full-text search across everything you've written. Integrated tools that fit seamlessly into your day-to-day writing workflow.

The editor combines a simple word processor-like interface with tools to change fonts, font sizes, perform full-text search, make highlights, and much more. Everything you write is saved automatically.

Projects — group your writings into projects (a novel, a short-story collection, a blog series) and use the project filter to focus on the writings, goals, groups, and notifications that belong to whatever you're working on right now.

Combined writings — assemble multiple writings into a single, larger writing in any order you like, with your choice of dividers between them (horizontal line, ellipses, asterisks, page break, or a numbered "writing 3 of 5" label). A finished novel from your chapters, a poetry collection from individual poems, or a "best of" excerpt set across projects — without disturbing the originals.

Snapshots — capture point-in-time copies of any writing as you work. Compare versions side-by-side, recover an earlier draft, or just keep a record of how a piece evolved.

Downloads & backups — export your writings as plain text, Word, HTML, PDF, Markdown, or RTF. Schedule automatic backups to your Google Drive or Dropbox so your work is backed up in multiple places.

Distraction-free mode — hide every visual element on the page and write in a quiet, minimal canvas. The words are the only thing on screen.

Light and dark color themes — so you can customize your writing environment. There are 32 curated color themes plus a custom color theme so you can paint your writing space exactly how you like it.

Notifications

Notifications to help keep you on track with your writing goals.


Regular notifications with writing prompts and challenges. Messages to motivate and inspire. WriterHabits can help you get into your writing zone.

Establish strong writing habits by receiving timely, customizable notifications via email or text message. Choose the perfect time of day and decide the frequency that works for you — once a day, multiple times a day, only on weekdays, or only on the days you've reserved for writing.

Reply-to-write — allows you to reply to any email prompt notification. Your reply automatically becomes a new writing on the website. Text-message notifications to your phone include a personal link to a mobile-friendly prompt page where you can also kick off a reply email with one click. Capture an idea on the train, in line for coffee, at 35,000' on that long flight, or anywhere else you happen to be.

Pick your prompt — choose from a growing library of prompt categories: random words, opening lines, character beats, world-building questions, sensory exercises, picture prompts, and multi-notification "challenges" that span several prompt notifications over time. Or write to your own theme — the notification is just there to remind you it's time.

Pause and resume — life happens. Pause a notification when you need a break, resume it the moment you're ready, and your schedule picks up exactly where it left off.

Notifications can be assigned to projects too, so the prompts you receive while working on your novel are different from the prompts you get for your poetry blog.

👥

Groups

Collaborate with others in your groups and share your writings.


Writing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. Form tight-knit writing groups to hold each other accountable, give each other positive feedback, and get the critiques you're looking for.

Share writings, comments, prompts, and insights with a supportive private community designed to elevate your craft. Each group has its own membership, its own meeting cadence, and its own shared activity — you decide what's visible to whom.

Recurring meetings — set a weekly or custom meeting schedule for your group, and send members an email notification before each meeting. When it's time, drop into the group meeting page and write together with a shared prompt.

Comments and feedback — group members can comment directly on shared writings, leaving the kind of focused, line-level feedback that turns a draft into a finished piece.

Group projects — assign a group to a project so its activity is grouped alongside the writings, goals, and notifications you've already organized for that project. One place for everything that belongs together.
