Just 50 words is a simple text editor designed to help lazy writers, like me, build a habit of writing.

For latest updates visit website at https://just50words.com

It features:

  • A smart editor that automatically saves as you write and has other nifty features that saves you time as you write.
  • Word counter with the ability to set word targets and then get positive feedback on achieving those targets.
  • A complete Pomodoro system to set writing session intervals so that you can use short focussed intervals to write.
  • A Write or Nuke feature where if you stop writing before completing the target words, everything that you wrote is cleared. This forces you to achieve your target words more often.
  • Almost everything can be configured
  • and a UI designed for the rest of us.
