Word Count Target Tracker

Summary

Set a word-count goal, paste your draft, and watch live progress: words written, words remaining, percentage done, and estimated reading time.

How it works

1. Enter your word count goal in the "Target" field (e.g. 1000 for a blog post).
2. Paste or type your draft text into the writing area.
3. Watch the live stats update: words written, words remaining, and percentage complete.
4. Use the session history to track multiple writing sessions toward the same goal.
5. Click "Reset Text" to clear the draft and start a new session.

Use cases

• Track daily writing quotas for novels, screenplays, or NaNoWriMo.
• Monitor blog post or article progress against a target word count.
• Measure how much content remains for assignment submissions.
• Check whether a piece of copy meets a minimum or maximum length requirement.
• Motivate consistent writing with a visual progress bar.
• Estimate reading time alongside progress to match audience expectations.
