You're set up. Here's how to start.
Rhythm & Focus lives in a sidebar inside Google Docs. It takes about a minute to try.
1. Open the sidebar
Open any Google Doc, then choose Extensions → Rhythm & Focus → Open sidebar. The first time, Google asks you to approve the add-on's permissions. It only reads the document you open it in.
2. See your rhythm
In the Rhythm tab, press Highlight. Every sentence is coloured by its length, and runs of similar sentences are underlined as flat stretches. Click a bar in the rhythm strip to jump to that sentence.
3. Catch echoes
Open the Echoes tab to colour words you've repeated too closely. Press Show only next to a word to see just that one.
4. Start a focus session
Press Start on the timer. When the session ends you'll hear a chime and see how many words you wrote. Set your daily word goal and timer lengths in Settings.
Tips
- Use the Strength slider to make highlights lighter or brighter. Click a colour in Settings to change it.
- Press Clear to remove the add-on's highlights before you share or print.
- Stats refresh on their own while the sidebar is open.
