## Overview cards

The cards at the top of **Word Counter** cover all your projects:

- **Total Words Written**: every word you've logged, across all projects. Words cut with negative sessions are subtracted.
- **Today's Words**: words logged with today's date.
- **Current Streak**: how many days in a row you've logged a session. If you haven't logged anything today yet, your streak still counts until the day is over.
- **Active Projects**: projects that aren't marked complete.
- **Most Active Day**, **Most Active Month** and **Most Active Year**: your best day, month and year by words logged, with the date underneath.

**Starting Word Count** isn't included in any of these. To choose which cards you see, click **Customize cards**.

## Cumulative Word Count chart

The chart shows your running word total over time, with a point for each day you logged a session.

- Choose **All Projects** to see the combined total of every project.
- Choose a single project to compare your progress against your plan. A dashed **Goal pace** line shows where you'd be if you'd written your daily goal every day since the **Start Date**.

If your solid **Actual** line is above the dashed line, you're ahead of schedule. If it's below, you're behind.

A few things to know:

- The chart appears once you've logged a session, and draws a line once you have sessions on at least two different days. Until then you'll see "Log at least two sessions to see a trend."
- The **Goal pace** line only appears for a project with a daily goal. Otherwise you'll see "Set a daily goal on this project to see the planned pace line."
- The chart shows words logged in Word Counter. It leaves out your **Starting Word Count**, and the goal line is reduced to match.
- With more than 14 points, scroll the chart sideways to see your full history.
