Know exactly how much you write.
Yakitori is a local-first writing tracker for your Mac. It counts exact words in Microsoft Word and Apple Pages and time everywhere else — without ever reading your manuscript.
Built for writers who count
Track the writer, not the writing. Yakitori observes your sessions, records statistics, and shows the shape of your work over time.
Exact, not estimated
Real word counts from Word and Pages. No keystroke guessing, no fake precision.
Private by design
Your writing stays on your Mac. No manuscript, keystrokes, or clipboard ever leave it.
Depth that lasts
Streaks, goals, projects, calendar heatmaps, and analytics across your whole history.
Try it free, then own it forever
Every feature is unlocked for a one-time 14-day trial (an account is required so a trial can't be restarted). After that, one purchase keeps it yours: unlimited Macs, no renewal, no per-device limit. See pricing.
