Goals, sprints & calendar

The Productivity drawer keeps your momentum with a daily word-count goal, a sprint timer, and a writing calendar.

  1. Open the Productivity drawer (Ctrl+Shift+P / ⌘⇧P).
  2. Set a daily goal; the emerald progress bar fills as you write. When you hit it, a page flash celebrates, and New round restarts the bar for another go at the same target.
  3. Start a sprint timer (a configurable pomodoro), with an optional floating mini-timer if you want to always see how much time is left on the clock while you're working.
  4. Check 'Hemingway Mode' to disable Backspace and Delete for the duration of your sprint timer. This can be turned off at any time.
Note

The calendar and a document's statistics are scoped to that document. A new file starts with a clean slate. Your overall writing streak on Home is machine-wide and survives across documents. This is a great way to see your progress on a document, check word count per day, and whether you're setting and achieving goals.
