What is the Session Timer?
The Session Timer is a feature for recording the time and word count of your writing sessions. It works within our Web Editor, our integrations including Desktop Everywhere, and our browser extensions for Edge, Firefox, and Chrome.
Where can I use the Session Timer?
You can use the Session Timer in the writing apps that Desktop Everywhere supports, such as Scrivener, Apple Pages, and Notion. You can also use the Session Timer when you open a web page in a supported browser for writing in apps such as Word for the Web, Google Docs, and Microsoft Outlook.
How does the Session Timer work?
When you click on “Start Session” in the Session Timer, a countdown timer begins. When the session ends, you can also enter how many words you have written.
What’s the benefit of the Session Timer?
The Session Timer helps you set a targeted time to focus solely on your writing with no distractions. You can enter your word count in each session and track progress over time. It will help you understand how you write and build consistency and momentum.
The Session Timer is not currently supported in the Microsoft Word app. You can still use the Session Timer in Word for the Web via our browser extensions.
