Writing Goals and Daily Streaks

Books don't get finished by inspiration: they get finished by arithmetic. 300 words a day is 9,000 a month — a complete novel in under a year, written in 20-minute sittings. YourNovel.app's goal-and-streak system turns that arithmetic into a habit that maintains itself.

How it works

The rule that changes everything: only what YOU write counts

YourNovel.app also has an AI capable of generating complete chapters — but not a single AI-generated word counts toward your goal or your streak. The tracker measures your manual writing exclusively. It's your real progress as a writer, not an inflated metric.

How many words a day should you write?

GoalProfile90,000-word novel in…
200/dayJust starting, or writing in very small gaps~15 months
500/dayThe sustainable standard — 25-40 min daily~6 months
1000/dayWriter with a consolidated routine~3 months

Tip: start lower than you think you can handle. A 60-day streak at 200 words beats three failed launches at 1000. You can always raise the target.

The environment matters

The tracker lives inside an editor built for writers: full-screen focus mode, continuous autosave, flexible chapter structure, and an automatic character bible. Everything around your 500 daily words is designed to make them happen.

Free, starting today

The goals and streak system is free, as is unlimited manual writing. Start your chain today: the first word is the only one that can't be automated.
