“With Jolt, I will have proof that it is my own words on the paper, my own endless hours of plotting, and my own love/hate relationship with writing that I worked hard to build.”

— Angel S, Jolt writer

“I was shocked by how motivating it is to see that you’ve already made some progress, even if it’s 10 minutes.”

— Emma K, Jolt writer

“I’ll sometimes just randomly open Jolt to see if anyone is writing so I can cheer them on through the app.”

— River R, Jolt writer

“The leaderboard feels like friendly competition in a way that isn’t toxic but inspires me to keep writing.”
