The Margin vs Truly Simple Word Tracker

Track every writing session. Watch your manuscript grow. The Margin helps you build a consistent practice — one page at a time. LOG EVERY SESSION Finished a writing sprint? Log your word count, chapter, mood, and notes. WATCH YOUR MANUSCRIPT GROW Your home screen shows a manuscript stack that grows with every session. See your total word count, daily progress, and how close you are to your goal. TIMED WRITING SESSIONS Set a timer and write. A rotating collection of writing tips and craft quotes motivates you while the clock runs. TRACK MULTIPLE PROJECTS Working on a novel and a screenplay? Each project gets its own session history, word count, and progress bar. KNOW YOUR PATTERNS Weekly, monthly, and yearly insights show you when you write best, how consistent you are, and where your streaks land. Stats include average words per session, best writing day, and words-per-week trends. STREAKS AND MILESTONES Every day you write counts. The Margin tracks your current streak, personal best, and milestones like your longest streak and biggest session. MOOD TRACKING Tag each session with how the writing felt: dry, grinding, steady, flow, or sparks. Over time, see which moods correlate with your best output.
