Hey! I have a...like, it's not a need. It's more like a request that if you can do, fantastic! But if you can't, that's fantastic, too! Because I know I may be the only one who cares.
On some of the themes (at least Pleather Daddy) the cursor can be tough to see. Is there a way to either thicken it or adjust the color depending on the theme?
Like, on some of the themes, the cursors really pop. But on at least Pleather Daddy, it's harder to see:
Like I said, though. TOTALLY cool if it's too much of a pain in the ass, or even if you just don't want to bother. I love this program, and I'm sure there are other priorities. :)
I’m really glad you were able to recover your words, but I hate that you had to deal with a crash.
Please email me, I’m trying to figure out the source of some of these crashing issues that is effecting some users and I could use your help: stimuwrite@eveharms.com
hello! i love stimuwrite, use it all the time, and recommend it heavily to my fellow adhd writers! it's immensely helpful. thank you so much for the hard work you do as a developer. :)
I've been an issue recently where the app crashes once the progress bar goes past 50%…? I have it on two machines and the behavior is consistent on both. So far I've been able to do a workaround where I make the goal word count much higher than necessary, but it is kinda sad that I don't get to reach the 100% and have the emoji party because of this :')
The theme I'm using is "StimuWrite Two" with a custom background, and I'm using the Yellow Heart emoji.
From my use over the last 2 weeks, it seems that it crashes when the app is open for too long, like for a few hours. So if I were to leave the app open on my machine for an hour or two and then I come back and type for a while it crashes. Another thing that I've noticed particularly on my laptop is that it starts to heat up if StimuWrite is open for over an hour, and it starts to cool down minutes after I close it.
Would you mind emailing me the file of the custom background image you are using? I've been working on a new version and I have a theory that the crashing issues might be from custom content and that would help me test it. Email address: stimuwrite@eveharms.com
Edit: Also if you could test to see if you have the same issue after switching to a default background and restarting the app that would be helpful.
Hi, I dunno if I've asked before (dang you adhd memory lol), but are there plans to ever make an iphone/android or even a web-based browser app out of this? There are some days my neurodivergence hates my laptop with a passion and I yearn so bad for a mobile version. It's so hard to go back to purely google docs. I'm sure I can't be alone here either. Thanks!
Those were in development, but unfortunately I came across some critical issues with porting. So currently the mobile/web versions are stalled, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to resume development. Sorry about that
Hello! I love this so much, it's helped me ton, but I do have a question. I'm so sorry if this is rude, but does this feed any of my writing to AI? This has been my replacement ever since Google Docs and other writing platforms have become unusable for the same reason. I want to make sure my work is secure and private when I write it out here. This has helped me so much with my executive dysfunction, and has made writing so much more enjoyable for me, and I respect and appreciate the work that went into making this more than you'll ever know, I just want to make sure this is a safe tool to use for my more "professional" writings. <3
Hi there! Happy to answer your question. The app has no cloud functionality and does not feed your work to train any AI. The only time it connects to the internet is to check the version number of the latest version to see if an update is needed. Your words entirely live on your computer's hard drive after you copy or export them and are 100% private and yours!
It does store your recent writing sessions as a part of the recovery feature, but these are also stored on your hard drive and never uploaded to the internet through the app. Additionally, no AI was used in the creation of the app. I hope this answers all of your questions :)
I use this little app all the time for little writing bursts I need to do, it's the perfect "size" for my brain to noncommittally dump onto like a notepad. Is there a way to set a default theme that I'm missing?
Hey, just wondering--is there a way to increase the autosave frequency? I'm getting a lot of crashes (though I will note I think I get fewer since I stopped doing fullscreen?), and I'm trying to get in the habit of frequent Ctrl-A/Ctrl-C, but I still lose a paragraph or two every now and then. Love the autosave feature, I'd just love to be able to set it to be more stringent.
Hi ImogenG, yes I'll add a way to change auto-save frequency in the next version. Would you be willing to run a debug build while sharing your screen with me to help me figure out the cause of the crashing? If so, please email me: stimuwrite@eveharms.com
Hi! Love this! Is there any way to increase the max word count allowed in the box? It won't let me put anything higher than 20000 in, it resets to that amount when I click away from the box.
hey, i turned off GPU particles and stimuwrite is still crashing :(( not super often, every half hour to hour or so, i really love this otherwise and its helpful for me but its stressful worrying about constantly copying it to make sure i dont lose it
Oh my, that sound really stressful and not at all an experience I'd like you to have with StimuWrite. The program apparently has issues with certain systems that I'm still trying to work out because I can't replicate them on my own machine. I'd love your help if you are able to do a screen share with a debug build, please email me: stimuwrite@eveharms.com

I will update this when I get a chance! Thanks so much :)
Thanks so much! Clearly not any sort of emergency. :)
Crashed as soon as I hit my writing goal and I lost everything I'd written. It's really wonderful otherwise but that just kind of soured it for me.
edit: I just realized it saved my progress! In settings and "recover previous session." I'm very thankful.
I’m really glad you were able to recover your words, but I hate that you had to deal with a crash.

Sorry for the late response, could you please email me to help me troubleshoot? stimuwrite@eveharms.com
Also, if you could tell me which theme you are using and if you are using custom emoji that would help me a lot as well. Thank you!

is it possible to add your own custom audio for typing?
Not currently, but I will consider it for future updates :)
