The Writing Desk
The Writing Desk, a multi-tab Blade that lives in one HTML file on your machine. No account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real Blade, running right here: go on, put something in it. Its tabs feed each other; try one, then look at the next.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
A book is written in sittings, and the sittings are easy to lose track of — which draft, which chapter, how many words closer than last Tuesday. The Writing Desk keeps your manuscripts, logs each writing session against them, and turns the sessions into progress you can actually see. Every hour at the desk moves a word count, and the word count doesn't lie to you.

Questions people ask
How does The Writing Desk track my writing progress?
Each manuscript holds its sessions, and each session adds to a running word count you can watch grow. Sit down, write, log it — the progress takes care of itself.
Can I use The Writing Desk for more than one book at a time?
Yes. Keep several manuscripts side by side, each with its own sessions and its own progress. The half-finished novel and the guilty second project can finally live in the same room.
Does anyone else ever see what I write in The Writing Desk?
No one. It's a single HTML file that runs offline in your browser; your manuscripts and word counts never leave the page. No account, no cloud, and the file is yours forever — a locked drawer that happens to count words.
