• Word Count Accountability/Writing App??

  There's 4thewords, where they gamify writing. I've not tried it but it looks interesting. Source: 12 months ago

• Executive Dysfunction

  Yes, I'm the same way. Two things have helped me. 1. Using the Pomodoro technique. You can find timers online and they tick while you are doing whatever, which I find helps me stay on track. I do 30 minutes with 5 minutes break. 2. 4thewords.com is a really cool gamification system for writers. You basically fight monsters while you're writing. It's amazing how well it keeps you on track! Also, there are some... Source: about 1 year ago

• Where you write?

  I use 4thewords.com with Scrivener for organisation and notes, but it really depends on what works for you. I like the gamification of 4thewords because it helps me focus, other people prefer options where they can completely turn off their wifi for fewer distractions.

• Campfire Writing?

Also worth a check if some of the other software doesn't tickle your fancy. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bear alternatives on PC

  You might check out iA Writer. https://ia.net/ If I didn't have a Mac with access to Bear, that's probably what I'd be using. Source: 12 months ago

• I didn't realize the community has grown so much..

  Obsidian ai (a forked version of this theme is my main, I haven't released it publicly because the ui is a clone of my favourite app iaWriter https://ia.net/, and I don't think that's ethically right to share). Source: over 1 year ago

• Tools for structuring research notes and productivity/creativity

  Ia.net: looks good to build a personal wiki with hyperlinks (which is something I def want) but I fear this can get messy after a while and can loose overview easily. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to find and remove all finished tasks [x] at once in a single txt document?

  Thanks, it works! Could you share a link to learn more about patterns and how to use them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on ia.net. Source: almost 2 years ago

• iA Writer's new site is up—where's the new update?

  I went to ia.net today to see if they had updated to a new site yet, and they had! Source: almost 2 years ago
