How it works: > Get a random writing prompt every day > Write non stop until the 60 second timer runs out > Backspace is disabled, keep typing beyond the mistakes > Complete the session and grow your daily streak > All entries are saved locally in your personal archive Features: > Gamified streak system to keep you consistent > 900+ creative prompts to beat writer’s block > 60 second writing sessions for quick daily practice > No edit rule to eliminate perfectionism > Local only storage for complete privacy > Minimal, distraction free design Whether you're a writer, student or just someone trying to articulate more clearly, Bad Writer Project helps you build a simple habit: Show up.
