Text tools

The text tools exist for a specific moment: something is already on your clipboard, it needs one small operation, and opening a word processor to do it is more work than the operation itself. A paragraph that has to fit a limit. A heading someone typed in capitals. Two versions of a clause that are supposed to be nearly identical. A link that needs to become a square someone can point a phone at.

How this category works

Everything here runs on each keystroke, in the tab, in plain JavaScript. Nothing is posted, nothing is logged, and nothing survives closing the page. That matters more than it sounds for this category in particular — the text people count, recase and compare is disproportionately draft contract wording, unpublished copy and internal notes. Those are exactly the strings you would not paste into a site that sends them somewhere to process them.

Each tool has a limit worth knowing before you rely on it. Word counting splits on whitespace, which is the right definition for English prose and the wrong one for Chinese, Japanese and Thai, where character count is the meaningful figure instead. Title case capitalises every word, so 'of' and 'and' need a manual pass and McDonald comes back as Mcdonald. The diff compares whole lines, so a one-word change shows as a line removed and a line added, and text reflowed by a different editor will report as changed throughout even when nothing was edited.

The QR generator produces a static code, which is a limitation and a guarantee at the same time. It cannot be edited or tracked after you download it — and it also cannot be disabled, redirected or expired by a service you no longer pay. For a poster that will outlive a campaign, that is the trade worth making; for something you may need to repoint, encode a URL you control and change the redirect instead.
