About Truly Simple Word Tracker
Truly Simple Word Tracker is a lightweight app that does the basics and absolutely nothing more. No fluff, no complicated menus, and no bloat. Features: • Set a goal: Choose a daily word count target for your current project, essay, or manuscript. • Log your words: Open the app and quickly enter the number of words you wrote today. • Maintain your streak: Hit your goal to keep your daily streak alive. Missed a scheduled day? Your streak resets to keep you accountable. • View your stats: Check your writing history and longest streaks in a clean but info-rich dashboard. • Sync your data: Sync your writing data automatically and privately via iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Home Screen widgets: View your progress at a glance with clean iOS and macOS Home Screen widgets. • Share your stats: Share your writing stats and visual charts directly from the dashboard. • Customize your experience: Adapt to your environment with manual controls for Light, Dark, or System color themes. • Accessibility: Navigate easily with fully accessible VoiceOver support, extra-large dynamic type compatibility, and comfortable 44-point touch targets. • Own your software: Use the core features entirely for free, or unlock the Pro version for a one-time, lifetime fee. No subscriptions, ever.
