Typeboost is a writing tool that plays music when you type to encourage you to keep typing until your first draft is done. For many of us, perfectionism or fear of failure makes starting a written project like an essay or a blogpost stressful. For others, staying focused while writing is difficult. Typeboost aims to solve both of these problems by using music as a fun incentive to keep typing and get your ideas onto the page. In high school, I struggled with essay writing. I built Typeboost to help me overcome my writing anxiety and type up a quick first draft. Today, Typeboost helps writers of all kinds with their first drafts. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I feel that music stopping and starting might be more distracting. Disclaimer: I haven't tried this yet but curious to hear from those that have.

I'm on the fence with this one. Love the concept but personally I either play music loudly when typing which puts me in the 'typing trance' :) or I cannot have any music or noise if I'm writing something very important as in that case noise or music distract. The tool sits somewhere in the middle. Will give it a go but interesting concept, best of luck.

@loomiassistant Thanks, I look forward to hearing how it goes! Hopefully Typeboost is able to put you into a 'typing trance' too ;)

This is pretty clever Jules, like Ryan said it might get a little distracting but its obviously not for everyone. Definitely worth a try :)

This is so cool. Whenever I'm programming I'm always turning on/off music depending how stuck I am so I could totally see myself using this in place of having a hand hover over the pause/play button. Nice work! One of the quotes I thought was funny: "Banged something out in 20 minutes that should have taken me 3 hours." Not sure if that's a good or bad thing :P

I've been a user of the Typeboost desktop app for quite some time and it has helped me tremendously beat procrastination. I can no longer imagine writing anything without the subconsciously motivational music playing in the background. I used to struggle with taking long breaks between each sentence I wrote, leading to the simplest of essays taking much longer than needed. Typeboost helped eliminate that.

Pros:

It actually works, can be used with any word processor, thoughtful selection of music

Cons:

None that I can think of
