WriteFlow is an app created to help writers monitor and improve their writing habits by tracking word count, setting daily or weekly writing goals, and providing data on their progress.
Being a writer myself and knowing several other writers, I came to the conclusion that many writers would like to have a tool that lets them know if they are achieving their writing goals. There are already other tools that offer word counting, but they are expensive and complex, and they lack a visual representation to quickly assess the writing process.
With WriteFlow I'm looking to create a tool that is free, simple, and can generate value and useful information to writers in a more streamlined way. WriteFlow is a tool designed to be integrated into the writer's workflow, not the other way around.
