What is Prime Draft?
Prime Draft will help you get your writing done in less time with less stress. Made by writers for writers, it takes the writing process to heart: keeping you going forward until the first draft is done and leaving the editing to when the time is right.
Prime Draft uses a science-based approach to reduce the cognitive burden and stresses of writing. A sliding window only shows you the most recent lines of text, providing only the necessary information to write the next sentence. Once that sentence is complete, it becomes uneditable. This unique approach stops you from being overly critical of your writing during the first draft, maximises productivity by avoiding pre-emptive editing, and always keeps your focus on getting the words onto the page.
Prime Draft provides numerous options to customize the look of your writing to suit you as an individual. Select colours that promote creativity and calmness. Select a font which matches the theme of your writing. No more uninspired writing: start enjoying the look of your writing on the screen.
Prime Draft allows you to set a goal for each file you create and automatically monitors your progress against that goal. You can target a total word count, writing time, or even set daily goals. Want to write 500 words a day for the next month? With an in-built calendar and feedback notifications, you will always know how much progress you’ve made and know what you need to do next.
Prime Draft can give real accountability to your writing targets. Any target you set for a file can be “enforced”. This means that until you fully achieve your goal, you will not be able to export your writing from the app. Prime Draft can convert your writing targets into real commitments, helping motivate you to sit down and write until you fulfil your goal. Additionally, with Prime Draft’s encrypted file format, you can still make back-ups of your writing while working towards your goal.
