Word and Character Counter
Counting text by hand is a small task until a limit appears: a 300 character product description, a 500 word essay, a social caption. This counter updates as you type and shows words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time.
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.

Do you store my text?
No. Counting happens in your browser and the text never leaves your device.
