This app helps you overcome writer's block by forcing you to write a first draft without the ability to edit or reread. It uses timed bursts and nudges to keep you moving forward, allowing you to flag sections for later revision.

Share your streak. The habit screen can now hand you a card of your writing days — the days you showed up, never a word count you missed. Post it, or don't. A dare for the blank page. Nothing to say? Tap once and the page dares you: write the argument you lost, describe a room you'll never see again. Seventy-five of them, written by hand, no AI. You still write every word.
MoreSFD's primary function is to help users produce a first draft of their writing by preventing them from rereading or editing as they go. It encourages a forward-only writing process to overcome perfectionism and writer's block.
SFD implements a forward-only writing mechanism where earlier lines dim and scroll away, making them inaccessible for immediate editing. This design forces users to concentrate on generating new content rather than refining existing text.
If you stall for a few seconds, SFD provides a nudge to encourage you to keep writing. This nudge becomes more pronounced the longer you stare at the cursor, helping to maintain writing momentum.
Yes, you can flag lines you dislike as you write. These flags become a punch-list that you can refer to when you move to the revision stage after completing the initial draft.
No, SFD specifically avoids features like formatting, outlining, syncing, collaboration, or writing the draft for you. Its sole focus is on helping you produce the initial, unpolished version of your work.
Your words remain yours and are stored as plain-text files directly on your device. SFD does not use proprietary formats, require an account, or connect to servers, ensuring your data is private and secure.
Yes, SFD is supported on both iPhone and iPad, allowing you to write on your preferred Apple mobile devices.
SFD was last updated on June 16, 2026, with version 1.1.0. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application.
