My site, https://www.justwritedammit.com lets you save automatically to browser local storage, Google Drive, or Dropbox. If you have writing in Google Drive already, you can import it as chapters.

There is a word and phrase frequency analyzer to help you figure out if you're over using certain idioms. And if you've been using it for a while and have a lot of writing, you can export it all to an EPUB package for eReader devices.

EDIT: and it works on smartphones, too, which I've personally been using to get some writing done on my galaxy note 2 while on the go or at the coffee shop/bar.
