Write forward. Don't look back.
Set a goal, write freely, and let previous paragraphs move out of view. Free forever. No sign-up.
Begin WritingWrite for 25 minutes, hit 500 words, or reach 1,000 characters. Pick what motivates you.
As you finish each paragraph and press Enter, it moves to a read-only area above. You see your most recent paragraphs for context (adjustable in settings, 1-5)—everything before that is hidden from view.
When you reach your goal, the Complete button activates. See everything you wrote and download it as a text file.
Stop scrolling up to edit earlier sentences. You'll see "[5 paragraphs hidden]" grow as you write—proof you're making progress, not perfecting paragraph one.

You start writing. It's going well. Then you scroll up "just to fix one thing." Thirty minutes later, you're still perfecting paragraph two. The blank page at the bottom mocks you.
WriteForward fixes this. Previous paragraphs progressively move out of view as you write—you can see your last two for context, but everything else is hidden. No scrolling up. No endless tweaking. The only way is forward.
Some writing apps delete your work if you stop typing. Others lock you into full-screen mode until you hit your goal. WriteForward takes a different approach: your text is always safe and you can pause anytime, but previous paragraphs are hidden to keep you focused on moving forward.
This creates momentum without anxiety. Your work is continuously auto-saved. If your browser crashes or you close the tab accidentally, WriteForward offers to recover your session when you return. You maintain progress without pressure.
WriteForward joins a family of focused writing tools, each with its own philosophy. Unlike apps that use deletion threats or forced commitment, WriteForward uses progressive hiding—a gentler way to prevent perfectionist editing during the drafting phase.
Some writers prefer high-pressure tools that delete text or lock them in. Others prefer WriteForward's calmer approach where text is hidden but never at risk. There's no "better" option—just different approaches for different writing styles. See detailed comparisons.
Writers who overthink. Students facing deadlines. Anyone who's stared at a blank page for an hour. If you struggle with perfectionism or getting started, WriteForward helps you build momentum and actually finish drafts.
Use it for blog posts, essays, journal entries, creative writing, brainstorming, meeting notes, or any writing task where progress matters more than perfection in the first draft.
WriteForward is free forever with no premium tiers or hidden costs. We don't require sign-ups, collect your writing, or track your usage. Everything stays in your browser's local storage. Your words are yours alone.
The app works on any modern device with a web browser—desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Write anywhere, anytime. No installation required.
When you press Enter to complete a paragraph, that paragraph moves to a read-only display area above your writing space. The display area shows your most recent paragraphs (you can adjust this from 1-5 in settings)—enough for context, not enough to start editing earlier work.
As you write more paragraphs, older ones are hidden from view. You'll see an indicator like "[3 paragraphs hidden]" that grows as you make progress. This creates visual momentum: watching that number increase proves you're moving forward, not getting stuck in revision loops.
Once you complete your goal (time, word count, or character count), you gain access to your full text. You can copy it to your clipboard, download it as a plain text file, or start a new writing session.
Automatic saving protects your work as you type. If your browser crashes or you close the tab accidentally, WriteForward offers to recover your session when you return. For intentional breaks, save your session as a JSON file and load it later on the same device or a different one.
The app supports both English and Korean seamlessly, with accurate character and word counting for both languages. When you complete your goal, export your work as a plain text file or copy it to your clipboard for use anywhere.
Sessions are stored locally in your browser—no server uploads, no cloud storage, no data transmission. This ensures complete privacy while providing reliable auto-save functionality.
