Writing Sprints

Writing Sprints

Writing Sprints are timed writing sessions designed to boost your productivity by creating focused, distraction-free bursts of creativity.

Starting a Sprint

/sprint [minutes]

For example, /sprint 15 starts a 15-minute sprint. When a sprint is active:

• A timer appears in the status bar counting down
• Your starting word count and line count are recorded
• A flash notification appears when the sprint starts
• Concurrency Guard: You cannot start a new sprint while one is already in progress. Use /cancelsprint if you need to restart.
• Focus Mode Support: Sprints remain visible even in Focus Mode, using a minimalist, borderless style to keep you focused on the timer without visual clutter.

During a Sprint

Write normally. The timer ticks in the background. When the sprint ends:

• A summary is displayed showing words written and lines added during the session
• The session is automatically saved to your sprint history

Cancelling a Sprint

/cancelsprint

This ends the sprint immediately without saving a record.

Sprint Data Storage

Sprint records are saved to your local data directory:

• Linux: ~/.local/share/Fount/sprints.toml
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Fount/sprints.toml
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Fount\data\sprints.toml

The data is stored in TOML format and can be viewed or edited manually if needed.
