Writing sprint timer

Set a short session, choose what you’re doing, and get on with the writing. Use a single sprint, or build a Pomodoro sequence with breaks.

A useful little session

Choose. Write. Record.

1Choose a short amount of time and what kind of work you are doing.
2Write until the timer ends. Breaks stay separate from writing time.
3Your browser record keeps the useful stats, including your streak and word-count change.
Simple sprint

Build your sprint

Add time in blocks. Press +5 three times for a 15-minute sprint, or +30, +10, and +5 for 45 minutes. No heroic declarations required.

Sprint ready

00:00

Add some time, then start.

Selected sprint: 0 minutes
Sprint complete. Stop there if that’s enough, or add another small block.
Pomodoro sequence

Set your writing blocks

Choose your writing time, breaks, and number of blocks. The timer moves to the next stage when each one ends.

Pomodoro ready

25:00

Pomodoro 1 of 4. Writing time.

Pomodoro sequence complete. Save the useful bit before wandering off.

What are you doing this sprint?

Choose the kind of work. The timer records time against that category.

1 ding for a sprint or normal writing block, 2 dings when a break ends, 3 dings when it is time for the long break.

Word count

Optional. Add your count at the beginning and end of the session.

Keep it narrow

A sprint works best when the task is specific. One scene, one paragraph, one repair.

Breaks are breaks

Use them for standing up, making tea, or staring into the middle distance with purpose.

Leave yourself a clue

When you stop, write down the next tiny step. Future you may still complain, but less.
