Everything for your thesis in one place
Thesis progress at a glance
Each chapter's status and word count, your overall percentage, and how many words a day keep you on track for submission.
A timeline back from your deadline
Proposal, ethics approval, a first draft of every chapter, full draft, revisions and submission, dated from the day you hand in.
Write inside your thesis tracker
A distraction-free writing area for each chapter that saves as you type and counts words for you. Or import your draft from Word or PDF.
A coach for every chapter
Plan my Introduction, Methodology or Discussion: the parts of the chapter for your topic, then feedback on your own draft. Examples to learn from, never text to submit.
Your university's rules
Upload your thesis handbook and we pull out the word limit, structure, citation style and AI policy. The coach follows them.
Your supervisor in the loop
A private link where your supervisor sees your progress, reads your drafts and comments on each chapter. You mark comments done.

Thesis by publication
Set it up with your papers as chapters (Paper 1, 2, 3) between an introduction and a general discussion.
Up to 10 projects
Track your thesis alongside papers, a literature review or a book chapter on Thesis Premium, each with its own deadline.

See the words a day you need, a writing streak and a progress graph against an on-track line, so a big thesis feels doable.

Thesis Tracker FAQs
What is a thesis tracker?
A thesis tracker keeps your whole thesis in one place: each chapter's status and word count, your progress against your target, and a timeline of milestones back from your submission date, so you always know what to write next.
Is the thesis tracker free?
Yes. The free plan includes one thesis project with chapters, word counts, the timeline, the writing area, imports, notes, a PDF download, the AI-use log and 5 chapter-coach sessions a day. Thesis Premium adds up to 10 projects, 100 coach sessions a day, Word download, a supervisor link and progress tracking.
Does it work for a PhD thesis?
Yes. Choose PhD when you set it up: the timeline adds a viva or defense, and you can use a thesis-by-publication structure with papers as chapters.
How do I track my thesis word count?
Write in the tracker's writing area or import your draft, and the word count for each chapter updates by itself. If you write elsewhere, type each chapter's count and the tracker works out your progress and words per day.
Will the AI write my thesis?
No. StudyCoach is a coach, not a ghostwriter. It plans chapters, gives feedback on your own draft and keeps an AI-use log for your declaration; any example text is for learning, not for submission.
