New in Writhm: Writing Goals, Exercise Mode, and Built-In Thesaurus
In the last few weeks, we’ve made Writhm better for both Free and Pro users.
Check out these exciting updates.
NEW FEATURE #1: Writing Goals 🏆
There’s a new page where you can set writing goals, track progress, and see a boatload of stats on your habits.
Set your writing goals by word count or page count and track daily, weekly, and monthly habits
My favorite area is the new Habit Tracker section, where you get a visual heat map of how much you’ve written. I used to do this manually with pen and paper, but now it lives right in the tool. Score.
The Goals feature is now available for all users, both Free and Pro.
NEW FEATURE #2: Exercise Mode 💪
Exercise Mode is a new feature in the Editor that enables a karaoke-like setting where you can practice typing over text.
Exercise Mode enables a karaoke-like setting where you can practice typing over text
This feature is based on the idea of copywork, which is a popular technique authors use to practice writing and get into the zone before a writing session.
Think of it like how musicians learn to play instruments.
You don’t write your own songs right away—you start by learning songs you like. First you copy Green Day, then you copy Foo Fighters. And after doing that for a while, then you’re able to write your own songs.
Copywork is how Judd Apatow learned to write comedy, and how Benjamin Franklin learned his craft. Lots of writers love it. Now you can do it directly in Writhm. Just go to the Editor, paste whatever text you want to practice with, and hit Exercise Mode.
Exercise Mode is now available for all users, both Free and Pro.
NEW FEATURE #3: Built-In Thesaurus 📖
Many of you wanted a built-in thesaurus, so now you’ve got one.
Check it out on the Editor page.
Find synonyms and antonyms with a built-in thesaurus
Both synonyms and antonyms are available.
And folks, we didn’t cheap out. We tested a lot of thesaurus data, and the free integrations weren’t up to snuff, so this is a robust premium version. As such, the built-in thesaurus will be available for Pro users only.
NEW FEATURE #4: Free Users Can Now Save a Project 💾
Until now, Free users couldn’t save Projects. Writhm was a check-it-and-forget-it tool.
But we’ve heard the feedback loud and clear: even if Writhm isn’t your main word processor, saving matters.
So starting today, Free users can save one project. It’s a small but important step to make Writhm more useful for more writers. Down the road, I’d love to explore additional saving for everyone—but as a small team, we need to balance free features with Pro upgrades to support ongoing development.
This approach keeps Writhm free and growing, while ensuring Pro users still get meaningful value with unlimited projects and more.
Check out the new features and let us know what you think. As always, remember to suggest and vote on what you want next.
