Count it - clean it - keep writing

Know what the words are
actually doing.

Live word and character counts, reading time, useful case changes, and a few cleanup buttons for text that arrived wearing muddy shoes.

Your text stays in this tab. It is counted and cleaned locally, never uploaded or saved by HandyPebble.

A clearer look at the draft.

01

Counts update live

Words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time move as the draft changes.

02

Cleanup stays deliberate

The tool never rewrites your prose on its own. Every change begins with a button you chose.

03

Your text stays yours

No account, cloud document, or language model receives what you paste into the editor.

Straight answers

Word-count questions.

What counts as a word?

The tool counts groups containing letters or numbers, including words with internal apostrophes or hyphens.

How is reading time estimated?

It uses 225 words per minute, a practical general estimate. Real reading speed varies with audience and subject.

Does the page save my draft?

No. This privacy choice also means closing the tab can lose unsaved text, so copy or download anything important.

What does Remove duplicate lines do?

It keeps the first copy of each nonblank line and removes later exact matches. Capitalization still matters.
