Rough Drafting Writing App
A downloadable tool for Windows and macOS
Rough Draft Writing App
I built this tool specifically for the rough draft writing challenge. But figured it would be nice for other people to also have it. This app is essentially just a text editor with automatic tracking feature for word count and it has nice displays to see how much you've been progressing through your time writing your app.
Features:
- Novel Creation
- Total Word Count Goal
- Image support
- Progress bar
- Text Editor
- Automatic Formatting for:
- ... to … (triple periods to ellipses)
- -- to – (double hyphen to en dash
- --- to — (triple hyphen to em dash)
- fancy quotes
- Word Count
- Character Count
- Chapter Word Count Goal
- Progress bar
- Automatic Formatting for:
- Stats Page
- Yearly heatmap
- Daily bar graph
- Cumulative line graph
- Fun Stats
- longest chapter
- words to reach goal
- Most well established character
- etc
- Screenshotting feature
- Character creation
- Image support
- Custom traits
- Custom Lore
- Export to markdown
- Automatic Saving
Still in Active Development
I am still actively working on developing this app to be more fully featured and with better performance. I created it using an unoptimal tool and I'm looking for better solutions but it could take a while to actually make it in the new tool with full feature parody so I'm just releasing this version right now.
Known Issues:
- Performance
- Slow Copy & Paste for large pieces of text
- Buggy when overflowing to new page
- UX
- Improper scrolling on certain character elements
- No safety checks for deleting files
- Character view not super useful

I loved the app, sometimes it gives some mistakes like the cover disappearing or the counting of words “locked,” but I loved it!
Thanks! Currently working on rewriting everything entirely to improve performance and bigs will be out in a couple months maybe
I'm excited to see how it turns out!
