NaNoWriMo and similar challenges measure progress in words per day. A fast counter with goal tracking keeps momentum visible.
Set a custom word goal, paste each session’s draft, and pair with reading-time when planning chapters.
Tips
- Set a daily goal (e.g. 1,667 words for 50k in 30 days) using the goal tracker on Word Counter.
- Count only new words if your challenge rules exclude outlines.
- Export or copy sessions — use Restore session on tool pages if you return later.
