Writing & Productivity is the category for the unglamorous middle of written work: timing a work session, formatting a reference list, shortening a long passage without rewriting it, checking a word, and catching the small slips that survive a fast read. None of these tools writes for you, and none of them claims to. Each one does a single mechanical job that is easy to get wrong by hand and tedious to redo: a timer that counts down without drifting, a citation formatter that follows a named style edition instead of guessing at it, a summarizer that selects sentences instead of inventing new ones, a dictionary lookup that reports exactly what a public dictionary service returns, and a checker that looks for six specific, named faults and nothing else. That narrowness is deliberate. A tool that promises to fix your grammar in general will miss things quietly; a tool that lists its six rules on the page can be checked against them. A summarizer that rewrites would need to understand the text; this one scores sentences and keeps the best, in their original order, so you can see what was kept and what was cut. A citation tool that hides its style rules would leave you guessing whether a reference is right; this one names APA 7th, MLA 9th and Chicago 17th author-date, states how many authors each lists, and warns you to check the result against your institution's required style before submitting. The timer is the simplest tool here and the most honest about its limits: it times sessions, counts completed focus sessions, and plays a short beep if you ask it to. It does not store anything, does not track streaks, and makes no claim about what timing your work will do for you. The dictionary is the one exception to the category's browser-only pattern, and it says so at the top of its page: it sends only the word you type to a free public dictionary service, because a useful dictionary is far too large to ship inside a web page, and a small built-in word list would fail most real lookups while pretending to be a dictionary. Everything else in this category runs entirely in your browser. Pasted text stays on your device, nothing is uploaded, and closing the tab discards your input. Use these tools as a first pass, not a final judge: read the summary against the original, verify a citation, and let a human editor — or your own careful re-read — have the last word on anything that will be submitted under your name.

New| Tool | Use it when you need to… |
|---|---|
| Pomodoro Timer | Time focus and break sessions with a countdown, custom lengths and a completed-session count; nothing is saved |
| Citation Generator | Format book, journal and website references in APA 7th, MLA 9th and Chicago 17th author-date styles |
| Extractive Summarizer | Shorten a passage by selecting its most informative sentences, returned in original order |
| Dictionary | Look up one English word at a time from a free public dictionary service, with meanings by part of speech |
| Basic Grammar Checker | Check a passage against six basic rules only: repeats, spacing, capitals and ten named typos |
Treat every output as a first pass: read a summary against its original, verify a citation against your institution’s style, and let a careful re-read have the last word on anything submitted under your name.
Readability improves through editing, not score-chasing: shorten the longest sentences, cut complex words where a plain one works, and use Flesch, Flesch–Kincaid and Fog scores as diagnostics — with a before/after passage scored by the published formulas.
Better prompts are built, not found: state the objective, give the context the model cannot guess, set constraints, show one example, and specify the output format — then turn what works into a reusable template with slots.
A repeatable fact-check for AI-assisted drafts: extract every checkable claim, verify each against a primary source, record the verdict, and fix or flag what fails — demonstrated on a real paragraph with two planted-style errors caught.
No. The summarizer selects sentences from your own text instead of rewriting it, the grammar checker flags six specific faults for you to fix yourself, and the citation generator formats references you supply. Nothing here generates new prose.
Start with Word Counter or Content Analyzer for length and readability, then run the Basic Grammar Checker for surface slips, and use the Citation Generator only for references you need to format. The Pomodoro Timer is separate: it times the session while you work.
No. It is the one tool in this category that makes a network request: it sends only the word you type to a free public dictionary service. The other four tools run entirely in your browser and keep working once the page has loaded.
