The Writing Calendar

Overview

The Writing Calendar is your writing history at a glance. It shows which days you wrote, how much, and how it added up over the month — a quiet, motivating record of the work you've put in. Pair it with Goals & Streaks to turn that record into a habit.

Opening the Calendar

Open the calendar from the calendar icon in the top bar. You can also reach it from the project hub and from the writer's tools menu. It opens as an overlay on desktop and as a full-height view on mobile, so it's never more than a tap away.

The Activity Heatmap

The centerpiece is a heatmap — a month grid on desktop, or a rolling multi-week strip on mobile. Each day is shaded by how many words you wrote: blank for a day off, and progressively darker as your word count climbs. At a glance you can see your rhythm — the productive stretches, the quiet weeks, and the streak you're building.

Daily Detail

Tap any day to open its detail view, which breaks down:

• Words you wrote versus AI-generated words, counted separately.
• Progress toward your daily goal for that day.
• A per-project breakdown — which projects you worked on and how much.
• A reflection note — a short journal field (up to 500 characters) that autosaves, for jotting down how the writing went.

Your Month at a Glance

Above the grid, a summary shows your total words written, the number of active days, and your average words per day for the period. A progress ring tracks how far you've come toward today's goal.

How Tracking Works

You don't have to log anything. As you write, Genesis Writer records your word count in the background, per project and per draft. Words you typed and words generated by the AI are counted separately, so your stats reflect the writing you actually did.
