myWriteClub at a glance
What myWriteClub is
myWriteClub is a free, social-first tracker. Create a project, set a goal, invite friends, and use the live word-sprint feature to write alongside other people in real time. You can track in words, chapters, scenes, to-do items, pages, percentages, lines, or "other." The tool is intentionally simple beyond that: no average-per-day, no time-of-day analysis, no Rewind. Community is the whole point: you log a sprint, friends see it, and the social pressure keeps you coming back.
What Authorlytica is
Authorlytica is the analytics-heavy version of the same daily-logging job. Streaks, charts, pace projection, mood tracking, the Writer Profile Radar across five dimensions, weekly recaps, monthly Rewinds, an annual Wrapped. Plus a friends feed, kudos, and nudges, though without myWriteClub's live shared sprints.

When Authorlytica is right
- You want the long-term analytics: average per day, time-of-day patterns, year-over-year trends.
- You want the Rewind report at month-end and year-end.
- You want the Writer Profile to tell you whether you are a Speed Demon or a Steady Giant.
- You want 40+ achievements and a personal-records feed to keep long-term sessions interesting.
Honest recommendation
Run both. They cover different motivational angles. myWriteClub for the live sprints and the people. Authorlytica for the long-term data and the Rewind. Logging your sprint in both takes ten seconds at the end of a session.
