What's New in WordOne

3.0.0

September 28, 2026

WordOne has been rebuilt from the ground up with a fresh, modern design. * New look: a cleaner interface with light and dark modes, and a side-by-side layout on iPad. * Clearer progress: each project's page now shows its statistics, today's word count and history together, with a colour-coded progress ring. * Progress graphs (Pro): tap the progress ring to see your words per day over the last week, month, 2 or 3 months, or any dates you choose. A burn-up chart shows how the whole project is tracking against your target. * Share your progress: share today's word count as an image and text to Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Facebook and more. * Smarter session counts: add progress for earlier dates, edit or delete entries, and change your opening word count. WordOne updates every session count and total for you. * Undo: changed your mind about a delete? Undo it straight away. * Backup and restore: save your projects to a file and restore them on another device. You can undo a restore too. * Built-in help: answers to common questions, right in the app. * Now free: WordOne is free for one project. Upgrade to WordOne Pro once to track as many projects as you like and see progress graphs. If you already bought WordOne, Pro is included. * Fixes: more accurate statistics, correct target dates, and project names can be reused after a project is deleted. Your existing projects and progress carry over automatically.

Decent for keeping track of word count

Does a decent job of keeping track of words written daily

Good for Pages and Storyist

If you use storyist or Pages and don't like to try to figure out how many words you just wrote in your latest chapter, with this app, after you've written, simply input the total number of words and the app will calculate for you how many words you wrote that day, or in that chapter.

Doesn't do what it says

Can't share to facebook, doesn't have a graphic. Useless, don't waste your money.

Really wanted to like this, but...

It seems to use the opening balance in the words-per-day calculation.

I am unable to change the Target Date, as the program crashes.

REVIEW ADDITION: I downloaded the 1.2 update. The program still crashes to the Home screen if I try to change the Target Date. Also, I have three projects in there and have been religiously adding everyday despite the bugs. The percentage of the one near completion says I have 0.9% on the Project Progress overview screen. On the project specific screen for Percentage Completed, it shows 0.00%.

REVIEW ADDITION #2: The current update indeed seems to have fixed the percentage displays and the crashing when changing Target Date. I will keep my fingers crossed and keep using it.
