Text tools
Count, clean, sort, compare and reshape text instantly.
Text tools are small by nature and that is their value: counting words against a limit, converting a heading to title case, turning a messy paste into a sorted unique list, comparing two versions to find the one changed line, or escaping a string so it survives being embedded in code. Each is a job that takes seconds with the right tool and a frustrating amount of manual editing without one. All of them work on the text in the page, so nothing you paste is transmitted.

Counting: characters, words and graphemes
Character limits are stricter than they look. An emoji can be several code units, an accented letter may be a base letter plus a combining mark, and Arabic joins letters visually without changing their count. That is why a naive length check disagrees with the count a form shows you. The counter reports characters, words, sentences and lines together so you can see which limit you are actually near.
Cleaning a paste
Text copied from a PDF or a web page carries hard line breaks in the middle of sentences, non-breaking spaces that look ordinary but break searches, smart quotes that break code, and invisible zero-width characters. Cleaning normalises whitespace and punctuation so the result behaves like plain text everywhere it is pasted next.
Sorting, de-duplicating and diffing
Lists of emails, IDs, URLs or keywords usually need the same three operations: sort them, drop the repeats, and compare against another list to see what was added or removed. Doing that in a spreadsheet works but takes several steps; doing it on a line-based list is instant, and a diff view shows the change rather than leaving you to spot it.
