Distraction-Free Editor
A clean, elegant writing space with a serif font that feels like pen on paper. No formatting toolbars, no menus—just you and your words.
Flexible Goals
Write by word count (250–1,500 words) or by time (5–30 minutes). The classic Morning Pages goal is 750 words—the equivalent of three handwritten pages.
Streak Tracking
Build momentum with a daily writing streak. See your current and longest streaks and stay motivated to keep the chain going.
Calendar View
A visual map of your writing practice. See at a glance which days you wrote and track your consistency month by month.
iCloud Sync
Your entries sync seamlessly across all your devices via iCloud Drive. Start writing on your iPhone, continue on your iPad.
Search & History
Every entry is saved and searchable. Look back on past writings and rediscover thoughts from days, weeks, or months ago.
Files App Access
Entries are stored as plain text files in iCloud Drive, fully visible in the iOS Files app. Your words are always accessible and portable.
Goal Celebrations
Hit your daily target and the app celebrates your accomplishment. A small reward for showing up and doing the work.
Autosave
Never lose a word. Your writing is automatically saved as you type and persists even if you close the app mid-session.
How it works
Wake Up & Open
First thing in the morning, open Waking Words. A blank page awaits—no prompts, no structure, just space for your thoughts.
Write Freely
Let your thoughts flow without editing or judgment. The word counter and timer track your progress toward your daily goal.
Hit Your Goal
Reach 750 words (or your custom goal) and celebrate. The progress bar fills, your streak grows, and clarity follows.
Come Back Tomorrow
The magic is in the consistency. Each morning builds on the last. Your calendar fills up, your streak extends, and the habit takes root.
