Write or Die was a cult tool — it kept writers in flow by making stopping uncomfortable. It's been dead for years.
KeepWriting is a rebuild. Three modes: Zen, Pressure, Kamikaze. Five penalty styles. Sound effects that escalate with danger. Export to .txt, .md, or .docx when you're done. It's simple. It's free. No account, no tracking.
