Goals

Goals are word count goals, with a start and end date, that track across all stories.

You can also see your daily word counts and writing streaks here, even if you haven’t set any goals.

From the home screen, tap on Goals in the top right.

Goal stat cards and heatmap.

Stat cards

  • The number of words you have written today. This only counts words inside of scenes, not notes.
  • Your current writing streak in days.
  • Your longest writing streak in days.

Daily activity heatmap

The heatmap shows your daily activity for the last 52 weeks. Squares are coloured based off how many words you wrote that day.

Tap on a square to see how many words you wrote that day (shown below the heatmap).

You can add, edit, reorder, archive, and delete goals here.

Create as many goals as you like, delete or archive them when you no longer need them.

Currently active goals (between the start and end date, or for the current story) are shown as progress bars in the scene editor’s right panel.

Archiving goals

Goals can also be archived from this menu. This removes them from the goals list and the right panel of the scene editor. You can still see your archived goals by pressing the button under the goals list.

Deleting goals

This cannot be undone. The goal is gone.
