Book Journey and Goals on Mobile
Give a book a finish line, and the app shows your progress toward it as you write.
Set your goal
Open the book's Book settings (from Write, tap Actions (...) then Book settings) and choose Goals:
- Target word count: how long you want the finished book to be. Leave it blank to use the suggested default shown in the box.
- Target chapters (optional): how many chapters you're aiming for.
- Deadline (optional): the date you'd like to finish by, typed as
YYYY-MM-DD(for example 2026-12-31).
Tap Save changes to store the goal. Goals save offline and sync when you're back online.
See your progress
- In Write: once the book has a word goal, a thin progress bar under the top bar fills as your book grows.
- In Momentum: open Book settings and choose Momentum to see the words in this book, how far you are toward your goal, and your recent pace. When you have a goal and some writing time logged, it estimates how many days are left at your current pace.
