Written helps you stay organized, motivated, and consistent on whatever you're making — a novel, a screenplay, a poetry collection, a blog, a photo series, or a handmade craft project. Set a goal in the unit that actually fits your work — Words, Pages, Photographs, or Crafts — and Written tracks your progress the way you actually create. Track Progress, Your Way Log your sessions and set daily, weekly, or monthly goals. Written isn't just for writers — photographers tracking a shoot and makers tracking a project get the same real progress tracking, not a word counter stretched to fit. Real Analytics: Not Just a Number See a trend chart of your output over time, a monthly activity heat map so you can spot your patterns at a glance, your current streak, and your lifetime consistency rate. Written also projects where your current pace will land you by your deadline — so you always know if you're on track, not just how much you've done. Story Structure That Moves With You Break your project into sections and scenes with drag-and-drop organization — name your chapters, reorder them as your story evolves, and build out each scene with structural elements like Conflict, Goal, and Setting, complete with built-in suggestions to help you get started. A Scratchpad for the Ideas That Won't Wait Jot down a stray line of dialogue, a research fact, or an idea you don't want to lose — without it turning into another thing to organize. Mark it done once it's worked into your project, or leave it be. Make It Yours Choose from four built-in themes — Ledger, Classic, Midnight Draft, and Field Notes — with automatic light/dark switching, so the app looks like your workspace, not a generic template. Everywhere You Work Your projects sync automatically across your devices via iCloud, with a real iPad layout (not a stretched-out iPhone screen) and support for Mac. Why Choose Written? One-time purchase, not a subscription. Unlock Premium once and it's yours — no recurring fees for a habit-tracking app. Built for more than one kind of creative. Whether you're counting words, pages, photographs, or crafted pieces, Written tracks progress your way. Your data stays yours. No ads, no third-party tracking or analytics SDKs — your projects sync through your own private iCloud account, not through us. Genuinely useful analytics, not just a progress bar — see your actual patterns, not just a single number. Download Written today and start seeing your creative momentum, not just your word count.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for My Simple Tracker against 5.0 for Written. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Simple Tracker has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
