Works on every Notion plan. No integration, no OAuth, no server. The trade-off: the widget lives on our host, so it needs network access to render, and a workspace serving thousands of page views a day could hit fair-use limits. For offline-safe delivery, use the HTML block tab.

About this component

A private in-page writing utility for a pasted or typed draft. It calculates word and character counts, a rough sentence count, reading-time estimate, and progress toward a configurable word goal. Text stays in the widget's memory and is not placed in the URL, stored, or sent.

What it does

  • Counts words, characters, sentences, and estimated reading minutes
  • Tracks progress toward a configurable word goal
  • Unicode-aware word matching for multilingual drafts
  • Draft text remains in memory only and is not submitted or saved

Where people put it

↳A writing sprint or article draft
↳Word-count targets for coursework or applications
↳A quick reading-time estimate for copy
