108 days from today at 620 words a day

620 words a day

Deckle works this out from your own last 14 days, zero days included, so the date gets more honest the longer you use it.

Three numbers, once a day.

  1. Set the book.

    Give it a title, a target word count, a daily goal, and the words you've already written. Add a deadline if you have one.

  2. Log the session.

    After you write, type how many words you wrote. Morning and evening sessions add up. Forgot yesterday? Pick the date.

  3. Read the finish line.

    Your streak, your two-week pace and the date the draft will be done update straight away. With a deadline, Deckle tells you if you're on track and how many words a day it takes.

Everything a draft needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Streaks that wait until midnight

A day counts when you hit your daily goal. If you haven't written yet today, your streak is still alive until the day is over. Your longest streak sits beside it, as a record to beat.

A finish date you can trust

Pace is your average over the last 14 days, rest days included. Set a deadline and Deckle says whether you'll make it, and what it takes if you won't.

Twelve weeks at a glance

Every day you've written, shaded by how far past your goal you got. Hover or focus a day for its date and word count.

Every scene, by chapter

Lay the book out as chapters of scene cards. Each card has a point-of-view character, a status and a short summary. Move scenes up, down or into another chapter, and see how many are drafted at a glance.

Follow one character's thread

Filter the board to one point of view or a set of statuses. Deckle suggests names you've already used, so Maren stays Maren.
