FAQ

If you pause longer than 5 seconds, all your writing from that session gets permanently deleted - the app gives one warning beep before erasing everything.

Normal mode allows limited editing, but Hardcore Mode completely blurs your text to prevent any revisions until you complete your writing goal.

Currently only available as web application through browsers, but works on mobile browsers with on-screen keyboards for writing on the go.

By removing the pressure of perfectionism and forcing continuous output, it helps bypass mental blocks through constant momentum and lowered expectations.

Completed sessions can be saved as .txt files or copied directly to clipboard for pasting into any word processor for editing.

No strict limit - users can set custom goals from 100 to 10,000+ words depending on their needs and writing stamina.

Best used in shorter sprints (15-30 mins) due to intensity, but effective for generating raw material that can be compiled into longer works.

Purely web-based requiring internet connection, as progress isn't saved locally to maintain the high-stakes environment.

Completely free version available with all core features - no account required to start writing immediately.

More extreme version with instant deletion vs graduated consequences - focuses purely on writing momentum without reward systems.
