Word Count Goal Tracker helps bloggers, authors, and content creators stay focused and productive by turning every post into a clear writing target.
Whether you write daily blogs, long-form articles, or creative content, this plugin makes it simple to set writing goals and track progress in real time — right inside your editor.
✨ Latest Update
We’ve introduced a full
Settings Menu that lets you:
- Set a
global word goal to be automatically applied to all new posts.
- Save time by not setting a goal manually every time you create a post.
- View your
live progress bar while writing.
- Get a quick notification when your goal is achieved.
Your existing posts will keep their own goals — the global goal just helps you set a starting point for new content.
💡 Perfect for:
- Bloggers who want consistent post lengths.
- Authors who track writing productivity.
- SEO writers who follow editorial word targets.
