Falcontext

Track your manuscript's writing & editing progress with goals, streaks, trend graphs, sprints, prose analysis & focus mode.

Your writing is never sent anywhere, and no AI is used on your writing in any way. • Private: Falcontext counts and checks your draft right in your browser. It saves only numbers (word counts, goals, streaks) and your settings. There's no Falcontext server; sync, if you turn it on, goes to your own Google Drive. • No AI: every check is a rule or a word list written by people. Nothing rewrites your text, and your manuscript never trains anything. • Instant: nothing to upload and nothing to wait for. A whole 100,000-word novel is analysed in well under a second. Finish your book. Falcontext is the manuscript progress tracker and writing goal tracker built for novelists, authors, and NaNoWriMo writers. It lives in a sidebar next to your draft and gives you live word counts, daily goals, streaks, and estimated finish dates. It also has the tools to help you write and self-edit: word sprints, 37 prose checks, a chapter and scene overview, a synonym checker, focus mode, and writing reminders. It works in Google Docs, Atticus, and many other browser-based editors. Stop guessing how your writing session is going. Know. TRACK YOUR WRITING Live word counter that updates as you type Daily word count goal with a visual progress bar Total manuscript goal, so you always know how close "The End" is Writing streak that counts only days you actually wrote, with a streak freeze if you miss one day Estimated completion date based on your real pace Personal records: best writing day, best editing day, longest streaks, and best sprint Achievements to unlock as you go Share cards: turn your progress, streak, or a milestone into an image to post 7-day trend graph of your word count growth (Pro) MANUSCRIPTS (Pro) Writing one Google Doc per chapter? Group your documents into a manuscript and see total progress, streaks, and pace for the whole book in one place, each manuscript with its own goals and reminders. WRITING TOOLS Prose Analysis: 37 self-editing checks that run entirely offline, each with a traffic light (green, orange, red), and what they find marked in your text (in Google Docs, in a reader view). 8 are free with their details: adverbs, passive voice, tense and point-of-view slips, dialogue tags, filter words ("felt," "saw," "noticed"), doubled words, spacing slips, and unfinished sentences. Pro adds the other 29, including clichés, repeated words, sentence rhythm, crutch words, homophones and sound-alikes, Flesch readability, dialogue vs. narrative balance, and pacing per chapter. Every check's traffic light is free. Word Sprints: set a timer and see how many words you write before it ends. Great for sprints and challenges. (Free; starting Focus Mode automatically with a sprint is Pro) Writing Reminders: up to 3 daily nudges that fire only if you haven't hit your goal, and tell you how many words are left. (Free) Bird's Eye: see your book's structure at a glance. Falcontext finds where every chapter and scene starts, whether from your headings, "Chapter 3" lines, or scene breaks like ***. It shows chapter and scene lengths against a target, and a character tracker shows who appears where. Free: track one character. Pro: unlimited characters and CSV export. Synonym Checker: quick lookups in a built-in thesaurus that works offline, with a content filter to keep results clean. (1 free lookup a day; unlimited with Pro) Focus Mode: fullscreens your document, hides the dashboard, and leaves a small progress badge. Press Esc to return. (Pro) TRACK YOUR EDITING Revising is progress too. Switch to Editing mode to see what percentage of your manuscript you've edited, based on the text you select. Editing has its own streak, records, and finish-date estimate, separate from your drafting stats. In Google Docs, which doesn't let extensions see your selection, just type how far you've edited. PROGRESS THAT FOLLOWS YOUR DOCUMENT Falcontext tracks per document, not per tab. Close the tab, reopen the doc tomorrow, or open it in a new window, and your goals, history, and streaks are still there. Wrote a few hundred words on your phone? They count toward your progress the next time you open the document in Chrome. Turn on sync and your settings, manuscripts, and history follow you to your other computers and browsers, and to the Falcontext web app and desktop app. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Export your history as CSV, or back up and restore everything as JSON. Choose from 5 color themes: Forest, Parchment, Midnight, Plum, and Slate. Use a persistent sidebar or a toolbar popup. PRIVACY Your manuscript stays in your browser. Falcontext never uploads, stores, or shares your writing, and all analysis runs locally on your device. No Falcontext account or sign-up is needed. For Google Docs, Falcontext can only read the documents you choose. The first time you use it on a document, Google's own file picker asks you to confirm that one document. Falcontext never sees the rest of your Google Drive. The only other thing sent out is your license key, if you have one, so it can be verified. PRICING Free: word count tracking, goals, streaks, estimated completion, editing mode, personal records, achievements, share cards, Word Sprints, Writing Reminders, themes, data export, a traffic light on all 37 prose checks with the details of 8, plus starter Bird's Eye and Synonym Checker. Ad-Free: $2.99 one-time. Falcontext Pro: $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Adds all 37 prose checks, pacing and character insights, manuscripts, Focus Mode, the trend graph, unlimited synonyms and characters, and it's ad-free. Whether you're drafting your first novel or polishing your tenth, Falcontext turns "how's it going?" into a real answer.
