Write-ins on Mobile

A write-in is a scheduled session where writers write at the same time, on a shared countdown. For how the rooms and the daily schedule work, see Sprint Rooms on the web.

The room on Home and in Write​

When a room is running today, a small panel sits at the bottom of Home and of Write with the countdown. Tap it to open it further.

  • Tap the join button to join the write-in. While you write in Write, the room counts the words you add to your book.

Once you have joined:

  • Type in Say something to the room to chat.
  • Tap I'm stuck if you want the room to know; tap Lower the stuck flag when you are moving again.
  • Open the panel all the way to find the leave button.

The panel is hidden in focus mode, so nothing but your manuscript is on screen.

Ask to be reminded​

Open the Account tab and tap Write-in schedule.

  • Each scheduled write-in shows its length. Tap Remind me to be reminded before it starts, or Remove reminder to stop.
  • Tell me when someone opens a room: tap Turn on or Turn off. Open rooms stay on the schedule either way; this only turns the nudge on or off.
  • Write-ins somebody asked for lists write-ins other writers have proposed. Three writers make a room. Tap I will be there to be counted; the row then shows You are in.

Proposing a new write-in is done on the web app.

Your write-ins​

Open the Account tab and tap Your write-ins to see the sessions you have joined: the day, how many words you wrote, and whether you stepped out before the end.

Reminders arrive as notifications. See Notifications.
