Three steps from a rough draft
to an essay you can back up

Write like you already do

Write in Google Docs or in the Tracely app. While you write, Tracely reads your draft and picks out each claim it can check.

See what's flagged

False claims are underlined in red, claims that need evidence in blue, and citations to fix in amber, each with the reason why.

Fix it with sources

Add a ranked source with its citation, or delete a claim that's wrong. Nothing changes in your doc until you accept.

Every claim checked and cited

Find the right sources, instantly

Stop wasting hours on Google Scholar. Tracely reads your draft and finds scholarly papers and pages that support, or challenge, your argument, ranked by how directly each one backs your sentence.

1 source backs it MLA 9

Only sources whose own text backs “Roughly 70% of teenagers sleep fewer than eight hours.”

Short sleep duration among middle and high school students

Wheaton et al. · CDC / MMWR · 2018 · Official

The source says 72.7% of U.S. high school students slept fewer than 8 hours on school nights in 2015.

Wheaton, Anne G., et al. “Short Sleep Duration Among Middle School and High School Students—United States, 2015.” MMWR, vol. 67, no. 3, 2018, pp. 85–90.

2 more sources on the topic didn't back it, so they aren't offered.

Cite anything in any format

One click inserts a formatted citation in MLA, APA or Chicago. Author, date, publisher and URL come straight from the source, and the in-text citation goes at your cursor.

Flags your false claims
before you hand it in

Three kinds of flags

Red when a claim is false or its source doesn't exist, blue when it needs evidence, amber when the citation needs fixing.

One sentence at a time

Every fix swaps one sentence for one sentence, and nothing in your doc changes until you accept it.

Essays written for you

Tracely doesn't rewrite your paragraphs. It checks what's true and what's cited, and you decide.

Sleep shapes how well students learn. Most teenagers only need six hours of sleep a night.

False claim

Teens need 8 to 10 hours, not six

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 8 to 10 hours a night for ages 13 to 18.

Why school should start later

Sleep is one of the strongest predictors of how teenagers do in school. Most teenagers only need six hours of sleep a night. In fact, 72.7% of high school students sleep fewer than eight hours on school nights (Wheaton et al., 2018).

Moving the first bell to 8:30 raises grades by a full letter. According to the CDC, short sleep is linked to depression and lower grades. Districts that moved their start times later saw attendance rise

Frequently asked questions

How does Tracely find evidence for my essay?

It searches OpenAlex's index of scholarly papers and the web through Brave Search, reads each source, and shows it only if its own text supports your sentence.

What does Tracely flag in my essay?

Claims that are false or don't make sense, claims nothing backs, claims that need evidence, and citations that are missing or don't match their source. It doesn't flag grammar or style.

Will it write the whole essay for me?

No. Tracely checks what you wrote. A fix replaces one sentence with one sentence, and only when you accept it.

Is Tracely free to use?

Yes. Starter is free and flags mistakes with their fixes and sources. Student and Pro add evidence that would make your writing stronger, replace a wrong claim with what a source says, and include more source searches each day. See the plans.

What citation formats does Tracely support?

MLA 9, APA 7 and Chicago. Tracely uses the style your document already uses, or the one you pick in its settings.

Is my work kept private?

The text you check goes to Tracely's server and to OpenAI to be judged, and it isn't stored. When Tracely looks for sources, the sentence is also searched in OpenAlex and Brave Search. Read the privacy policy.
