Terminal Draft · writing study

A little time to write.

Use a laptop or desktop with a physical keyboard. Try writing for 10–15 minutes, then tell us how the experience felt.

Your writing is temporary. It stays in this session, including after a brief reconnect, and is deleted when you finish or the session expires. Saving is optional and does not save a copy to your computer. Please use disposable, non-sensitive writing.

We do not record your screen, writing, keystrokes, or clipboard. Technical logs retain only start/end times, duration and failure/expiration events for up to eight days. The study questionnaire collects your answers separately.

If you came through Prolific, its participant ID is passed to the questionnaire with a random session reference to reconcile study completion. These are separate from your writing.

If the session cannot open, contact the study operator. You do not need to save or send us your draft.
