Free · Windows and every browserEvery book hatches a creature from an egg. Feed it the words you write and it grows up as your book does, from baby to fully grown at your target word count. Skip a day and it gets peckish; rest days make it nap. It never dies, it just really wants you to write.
Mac, iPhone, Android or tablet? Open wrytling.com and install it from your browser. Want more than one book?
Fourteen to choose from, each in several colours, and you get to name it: a detective, a vampire with a bat trick, a dragon, Nessie in a tartan tam o’shanter, a unicorn, a rose, an alien building a rocket, a teddy, a robot, an owl, an octopus with a quill, a cat, a gargoyle and a ghost.
Pick colours, and for the detective and the vampire, choose skin tone and outfit separately, so your creature can look like you (or your main character).
Your first words crack the egg, and it hatches soon after. From there your creature grows up with your word count, and it’s fully grown the day you reach your target.
Happy when you’re on pace, peckish when you haven’t written yet, sad after a missed day. Rest days make it nap, and it never, ever dies.
Words per day to hit your deadline, a projected finish date, your streak and a little chart of the last two weeks.
Set a 10 to 45 minute sprint and your creature cheers you on, then asks how many words you wrote.
Unlock hats as your lifetime word count grows, earn badges, and keep every finished book’s creature on your menagerie shelf.
On Windows, your creature floats in a corner of your screen, on top of Word or Scrivener, so it can watch you write.
Writing a novel in November? Wrytling comes set up for 50,000 words by 30 November. Reach it and you earn the November Novelist badge, a Champion’s wreath only winners can wear, and 25% off in the Bestiary shop.
Share cards for social media with your happy creature (or your whole menagerie) and a ready-made caption.
Turn on sync and your words follow you between your computer and phone. Only your word counts and settings travel, never your manuscript.

Your licence key arrives by email. Paste it into Wrytling and every device you’ve linked unlocks too.
Any writer who works better with a little encouragement, a deadline they’d like to see coming, or a small creature looking at them hopefully.
Yes. The free version tracks one book at a time, with every creature, and you can keep it as long as you like. Wrytling Unlimited is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited books and the extras.
There’s a Windows app, and on a Mac, iPhone, Android phone or tablet you open wrytling.com and install it from your browser. It works offline too.
Yes. The app isn’t digitally signed yet, so Windows is being careful. Click More info, then Run anyway.
No. Just open it and start writing. Your words stay on your device unless you turn on sync, and only word counts ever sync, never your manuscript.
No. Every creature is drawn and animated by hand in code, and Wrytling never reads your words, only counts them.
Never. It gets a bit peckish, then sad, and cheers right up the next time you write. Plan rest days and it simply naps.
