## What does this tool do?

Paste or type text and get six metrics in real time: words, characters, characters without
spaces, lines, sentences and paragraphs. It is useful for essays, social posts with character
limits, code and anything with length constraints.

## How it counts

- **Words** are runs of non-whitespace characters.
- **Lines** are separated by newline characters.
- **Sentences** end with `.`, `!`, `?` or `…`.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your machine.
