We've been building like crazy. Here's everything new from this past summer to make writing easier, and more fun.

Team sprints (and sprint chat)
Sprints just got a multiplayer upgrade. Form a team with your writing friends and race other teams to write the most words. And in any multiplayer sprint, you can now chat before and after the sprint, so you can rally your group first and celebrate after.

Idle alarm
Get distracted easily? Turn on the idle alarm and we'll nudge you back if you stop typing for a minute. (There's a cat involved, purely for fun. Your words aren't gone, they're just hiding.)

Human written evidence
See how your novel came together, session by session, with proof the words are yours if you ever need it. AI suspicion is exhausting, and it's landing on writers who did the real work. You'll find this at the bottom of your project stats. It's still in beta, so send us your ideas.


Earn free Pro
Refer a friend to WritingHabit, and once they get writing, you earn 30 days of free Pro. Your referral link and the details are on your dashboard.


New planning tools for fall
We're rolling out new planning tools to help you prep your next novel ahead of the fall. Two of them, Grid and Flow, are ready for an early peek on your "plan" tab right now. Go take a look.


Plus some quieter upgrades:

• Chapter goals and a summary widget

• Smoother Google Doc imports

• Custom themes

• Leaderboard preferences

• A split view, so your outline and manuscript can share one screen

You can see what's coming next on our roadmap, and if there's something you wish existed, tell us. A lot of what we build starts as a user request.

That's what's new. Try something, get a few words down, and we'll see you on the leaderboards!
