Track daily word counts against a target with progress charts and streak tracking.
Word Count Goal Tracker is a daily writing log with a target attached. You enter the words you wrote each day; it keeps the running total, compares it against the daily target, draws a progress chart of per-day counts, and shows your streak of days that met the goal. The thing most users discover late: a day under the target resets the streak even when the week's total looks fine, and a day you wrote nothing should be logged as zero, not skipped, or your pace numbers quietly drift from your actual record.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Target 1,500 words/day. Log: 1,600 / 1,750 / 900 / 1,550 / 1,650
Expected output
5 days logged. Total 7,450 words (99.3% of the 7,500-word pace; 50 words behind). 4 of 5 days met the 1,500-word target. Current streak: 2 days. Average: 1,490 words/day.
The tool sums the five counts to 7,450 and compares it with 1,500 x 5 = 7,500 words expected at pace, so you sit 50 words behind. Day 3 missed the target, breaking the streak, which restarts at 2 from day 4.
You add a count per writing session or per day, dated as you go. The total is the sum of every entry, and the pace figure compares that sum with the daily target times the days elapsed since your start date, so ahead or behind always refers to the calendar: a 1,000-word target after ten days expects 10,000 words. The chart plots one bar per day, so outliers stand out at a glance.
A day counts as met when the logged count reaches the daily target; the current streak is the run of consecutive met days ending today. A below-target day resets it, even by ten words, so the streak measures target-keeping, not volume. The met-days tally sits apart from the word total: you can be ahead on words with a short streak, or hold a long streak on a small daily target.
Yes. The streak counts consecutive days that reached the daily target, so missing by ten words resets it just as writing nothing does. If the streak is the point, aim above the target rather than exactly at it, and log every day, including zeros, so the record stays honest.
Because pace compares the total with the target times every day elapsed, including the off days. On a weekend-only schedule the ahead/behind figure will show behind from Monday through Thursday even when every writing day hit its goal. Read the total and the met-days count instead, or set a daily target that fits your actual writing days.
