MADE FOR WRITERS BY WRITERS
Available on all devices - for free
Writing a book is a long walk. Day after day, you add a few hundred words and the finish line still looks far away.
Most writers watch one number: total word count. But when the number barely moves, progress feels invisible. That's discouraging, and it makes it easy to stop showing up.
Authorlytica flips the script. Instead of reminding you how far you still have to go, it shows you how far you've already come. It turns that progress into fuel for tomorrow.
After each session, you'll see:
You can break the work down into projects, acts, or chapters so the next step is always clear. Even a massive story feels manageable when it's one milestone at a time.
Writing should feel satisfying. Authorlytica makes progress look good, so it feels good to keep going.
It works on any device. Just visit app.authorlytica.com, no installs, no setup.
And it's totally free right now! Let's first do some writing before thinking about monetization.
Start today, see your progress, and let the numbers pull you forward, one good writing day at a time.
Adam Rendo is a European software artist who creates digital apps that blend utility with beauty. His work centers on minimalism, interactivity, and the quiet intersection between technology and art.
He builds small, focused tools meant to enhance life without overwhelming it. Authorlytica grew out of his own need for a clear, honest way to stay motivated while writing, a tool that makes progress visible and finishing feel possible.

Split your project into parts, acts, or chapters and give each one its own goal. Watching those smaller bars fill up makes progress feel closer and keeps the next step clear.
Big goals stop feeling impossible when you can see them fall one milestone at a time.
Whether you're at your desk or writing on the train, you can log a session in seconds. Authorlytica is web-based and fast, so there's no software to install or maintain.
Just open the site, add your words, and get back to the story.
Your progress is visualized in charts that track daily output, averages, streaks, and totals. Consistency becomes visible, and once you feel your momentum, it's easier to keep it going.
There's power in seeing proof that the work is adding up, and your goal is coming closer.
Scroll through your session history to see the days, times, and totals for every writing session you've done. This record is proof that you're building something real, one session at a time.
On tough days, it's a reminder that you've already come further than you think.
Authorlytica projects your current pace forward and shows you how many days are left until your goal. Each writing session makes that number drop — a clear sign that you're moving closer.
It's simple, honest, and motivating to watch the finish line come toward you.
Motivation fades when the reward feels too far away. Seeing progress right after a session gives your brain a quick win and makes it easier to come back tomorrow. Authorlytica updates your streaks, averages, and totals instantly so progress feels real.

Breaking a big goal into milestones makes it feel achievable. Each one you finish gives a burst of motivation and keeps you moving forward. Authorlytica lets you split your book into projects, acts, or chapters so the next step is always clear.

When progress is visible, motivation stays alive. Charts, streaks, and trends show exactly how far you have come and make it harder to quit. People who track progress are far more likely to hit their goals.

Daily writing compounds quickly. Each session builds momentum and makes writing more automatic over time. Small, steady wins turn intention into routine and carry you to the last page.
