iA Writer for Mac provides comprehensive statistics on your document, including character, sentence or task counts, and estimated reading time.
These comprehensive statistics will help you monitor your writing progress, which is particularly valuable for writers paid per word, or those eager to take part in writing challenges like the ones from NYC Midnight.
The document’s stats are displayed in the Toolbar found at the bottom of the Editor. The Toolbar has three possible states:
If you do not see the Toolbar on the Editor, go change its settings in the menu View → Toolbar
In the same menu View, you can choose how to display the stats in the Toolbar: either on the right corner (Default), or having the Toolbar filled with Stats Only.
The statistics will appear in the right corner of the Toolbar, along with the regular quick actions (bold, headings, tables, etc.). Among the various options for stats, only one will be visible.
If you want to switch the displayed stat, simply click on the currently shown one to expand a list of other available stats. Then, click on the desired stat to have it displayed at all times.
If you select Stats Only instead of Default, the whole toolbar will be used to display the statistics
If you do not want to see all the statistics, right-click anywhere in the Toolbar, and hover over Stats Only > to show the list of available options. Select the stats you want to see and deselect those you’d like to hide.
The statistics adapt to the selected text. If no text is selected, the stats for the entire document will be displayed. When text is selected, the stats specifically for that selection will be shown.
