Word Counter overview

The Word Counter is all about giving you insights in your productivity as a writer. What gets measured gets accomplished. By giving specific feedback about the quantity of your writing, we believe that the most important aspects of your writing can be improved. Currently the app is tracking daily words and their distribution across applications. It keeps a complete record of your daily achievements for you to look at in the history.

More specific metrics are on the way, and we plan to finish a lot of the following:

  • Ratio of distracted writing vs. focussed writing
  • Real content creation vs. tasks merely related to writing
  • Unveil the most productive writing times of day
  • Adherence to the Eisenhower Matrix in numbers and ratios

What’s new in version 1.6.5

Version 1.6.5:
  • Vertical centering of the daily word count in Big Sur's menu bar.

A lot of 5 star reviews by people with 1 or 2 karma - seems very suspicious.

Productivity increases if the result is visible. The productivity of a writer, journalist, author is the number of words. Almost all applications in which you type text, somehow it is considered, some are better, others are worse, others are more visible. I wondered if there was an application that would count how much I typed at all, in all applications. It turned out, yes, there are. Tried, tested and stopped at Word Counter for Mac. What can I tell you? Perfect application, very nice interface and graphics, visually displays the number of words by day, by applications, there is a calendar where you can see how much was printed on a given day, you can add a specific file and track it. I think the application is must have to writers

My writing habit became so much more productive with the help of this app! Thank you so much! Easy to handle and it just does what I need it to do! The specialized counting through the hours of my working time is brilliant! And: I love the possibility to track down every word I wrote in every app I used! No more cheating about how much things I got done in a day! :)

I did love this App, I think it follows the Mac App designed rules. The UI are beautiful, it can blend into EI Captain Mac OS seamlessly. All Well Designed!
And though I pay twice by accident, the author kindly replay to my email, And we chat so comfortably, we become good friends.
I love the experience, Indeed!
The app's icon loves me!
