Features

Everything you need to measure your writing.

Session Timer

Tap Start Working when you sit down. Tap Stop when you're done and enter your new total word count. If you didn't write any words (maybe you were outlining) the app is fine with that too.

Word Count Tracking

Log your words after each session. Enter the new words written, or just the total. Supports multiple drafts so you can track each phase of your manuscript.

Streaks & Habit Grid

Build a consecutive writing streak and watch a shaded calendar fill in over time. Tap any day to see a full session breakdown.

Daily Goals

Set a daily target by word count, time, or both. Optional smart reminders fire only when you haven't started yet, and follow up at an interval you choose.

Detailed Stats

Filter by book or draft, or view across your whole body of work at once.

iCloud Sync

Your data lives in your private iCloud account and stays in sync across all your Apple devices. No separate account. No servers of mine involved.

From the developer

"Leech Writing doesn't force you to 'write more.' It simply helps you track your writing so you can see when and how much you actually write. It's not gamified or dripping with flowery motivation. It's for serious authors like you. You need to track your work so you can work more efficiently and with better focus."
Samuel Sullins
Developer & Author

Radically private by design.

Your writing is personal, so Leech Writing collects nothing.

  • No analytics, no tracking, no crash reporting
  • No ads, no third-party SDKs of any kind
  • All data stored in your own private iCloud account
  • I have no servers, I literally cannot access your data
