Why Writers Are Leaving Google Docs for Hearth
Google Docs is a masterpiece of engineering... for office workers. But for novelists, screenwriters, and creative minds? It's a productivity killer disguised as a helpful tool.
Escape the Office Suite
Your story doesn't belong in the same software you use for spreadsheets.
Switch to HearthThe "White Page" Problem
Google Docs simulates a piece of DIN A4 paper. It forces you to think about margins, page breaks, and how it looks *printed*.
Hearth removes the paper simulation. We treat writing as a continuous stream of thought. No page breaks to interrupt your flow. No 1-inch margins constricting your creativity.
Organization Chaos
Have you ever tried to write a novel in Google Docs?
- The Giant Scroll: A 300-page document that takes forever to load.
- The Folder Mess: Chapter 1.docx, Chapter 2_final.docx, Chapter 2_final_REAL.docx.
- Lost Research: Character notes buried in a separate tab you can't find.
Hearth uses a sidebar project structure. All your chapters, scenes, and research notes live in one unified project. Click to jump between them instantly.
