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.

The "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.
