MADE FOR WRITERS BY WRITERS
Works on all devices — free during beta
Writing a book is a long walk. Day after day, you add a few hundred words and the finish line still looks far away. Without a reliable word tracker, that effort feels invisible.
Authorlytica flips the script. Instead of reminding you how far you still have to go, it shows you how far you've already come. After each session, you'll see:
Break your work into projects, acts, or chapters so the next step is always clear. Miss the structure of NaNoWriMo? Authorlytica is your year-round writing partner that keeps you motivated long after November.
No installs. No setup. Just visit app.authorlytica.com on any device and start tracking. Free during beta.
Track your mood alongside your word count and discover when you write best. The mood heatmap reveals patterns over weeks and months—showing you which days fuel your creativity and which ones need more support.
It's like a Wrapped for your writing life: beautiful, insightful, and uniquely yours.
Split your project into parts, acts, or chapters and give each one its own word count 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 with the word counter, 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.
Earn XP for every session, unlock achievements, and watch your level rise as your word count grows. Streaks keep you accountable, milestones celebrate your wins, and the gamification makes showing up feel rewarding.
Writing becomes a game you can actually win—one session at a time.
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.
Hi, I'm Adam. I'm a writer who fell in love with NaNoWriMo: the word tracking, the daily goals, the little achievements that kept me coming back. It was the only thing that ever made me finish drafts.
When NaNoWriMo collapsed, I wanted that feeling back. But I also wanted more: year-round tracking, mood patterns, smarter insights, and gamification that actually motivates. So I built Authorlytica in the same spirit, but better, and available every single day.
I've been developing it since late 2024. These days I write more code than words, but that's how you know I'm serious about building the tool I wish existed.
I'm a solo indie developer and writer based in Europe. More of my work at adamrendo.com.

Breaking a massive project into smaller pieces makes finishing feel possible. Each milestone you hit gives you a burst of motivation that carries you to the next one. That's why Authorlytica lets you split your book into manageable chunks.
Daily tracking creates accountability. Small, steady wins compound into real momentum, turning sporadic inspiration into reliable routine. That's the magic NaNoWriMo provided—and what Authorlytica brings you year-round.
