Why Gren
Most writing apps want an account, a subscription and your words on their servers. Gren doesn’t. Open it and start typing. Your notes are saved automatically in your own browser, nothing is uploaded, and there’s nothing to install.
While you write, Gren counts: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, read time and speak time, plus a reading level, keyword density and a flow score. Set a word goal and watch it fill.
Built for writing to a count
It’s made for anyone who writes to a word limit: students, copywriters, scriptwriters and people drafting social posts. Joseph built it, and it’s the app he uses every day.
