WriteTimer
A focused timer for writers.
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A focused sprint timer built for writers. Customizable themes, word count tracking, project tags, achievements, and more — your writing, beautifully tracked.
Writers of all types deserve a dedicated timer. WriteTimer helps you build a daily writing habit with focused sprint sessions, word count tracking, achievement milestones, and beautiful progress rings — no accounts, no ads, and no data ever leaving your device.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose a session length or dial in a custom duration and press play. A full-screen countdown begins, with three animated progress rings showing your daily, weekly, and yearly writing time at a glance. Completed sessions are logged automatically.
Need more time mid-sprint? Tap any preset to add minutes to a running timer without interrupting your flow.
TRACK YOUR WRITING
After each session, log a note about what you worked on, how many words you wrote, and even add a customizable tag. WriteTimer calculates your words-per-minute pace automatically and saves everything to your session history.
Browse your history sorted by date, word count, or project tag. Tap any session entry to edit its note, word count, or tags from a single screen. The Stats tab shows daily, weekly, and yearly writing totals alongside a seven-day activity chart.
BUILD YOUR HABIT
WriteTimer tracks your writing streak day by day and awards achievements as you hit milestones — your first session, your first word count, consistent weeks, and more. A customizable daily reminder notification nudges you to open the app and write.
