Frequently asked questions
- Is my text private?
- Yes. Everything you type or paste is counted in your browser and your text never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded or stored on a server. Once the page has loaded it works offline, so it's safe for drafts, confidential notes, or client work.
- What exactly does it count?
- Words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and an estimated reading time — all updating live as you type. Reading time is based on an average adult reading speed of roughly 200–240 words per minute.
- How is a word counted — will it match Word or Google Docs?
- A word is any run of characters separated by spaces or line breaks, which is how word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs count too, so the number lines up with essay, assignment, and article limits.
- Can it help me hit a character limit?
- Yes. The live character count helps you fit strict limits — a 280-character post, a 160-character SMS or meta description, or a bio field — without guessing. Both counts (with and without spaces) are shown, since platforms count differently.
- Is there a signup or ads, and does it work on mobile?
- No signup, no login, and no ads sitting over your writing. It works in any modern browser on desktop and mobile and keeps working offline once loaded.
