Word Vomit

Get it out of your head.

A daily writing habit, not a word count to hit. No editing, no rereading, no audience. Show up and let the pages be bad — that’s the entire point.

Write at 6am or 11pm, whenever the day gives you a gap. One entry per day, as long or as rambling as it needs to be.

How it works

  1. 1

    Show up and start typing

    No prompt, no blank-page ceremony. The cursor is already waiting.

  2. 2

    Keep going until the bar fills

    750 words by default — roughly three handwritten pages, the amount that tends to get you past the surface chatter. Not the right target for you? Change it in Settings; the habit matters more than the number.

  3. 3

    Close the tab and get on with your day

    Don’t reread it. Don’t fix the typos. It isn’t a draft of anything.

The practice comes from The Artist’s Way, where it goes by morning pages. The morning part is optional. The daily part is what does the work: writing with no audience is the only kind you’ll be honest in.

This is the whole interface

A page of text and a line that fills up. No formatting toolbar, no folders, no tags — every one of those is just another way to avoid writing. It saves as you type, and keeps a copy on your device in case your connection drops mid-sentence.

Private by default

There is no feed for your entries to appear in, and no audience waiting to read them.

  • Nothing is public unless you deliberately make a single entry public. There’s no follower count and no way to stumble onto someone’s journal.
  • Privacy is enforced in the database itself, not just in the app, so a bug in a page can’t leak someone else’s writing.
  • Export everything to Markdown or JSON whenever you like. If this app disappeared tomorrow you’d still have your writing.

A reason to come back tomorrow

A streak you’d rather not break, and a year of your writing on one screen. Miss a day and the streak survives until the day is actually over — the point is the habit, not the punishment.

Over time you get the quieter numbers too: how much you write, when you tend to start, which days you actually show up.

Today’s pages are going to be unremarkable. Write them anyway.
