Notes, journals, and rough drafts are where writing actually starts, and it helps to know how much you've put down without breaking your flow. This counter keeps a running tally — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time — that updates with every line you add. Use it while you jot meeting notes, keep a daily journal, brain-dump ideas, or build the first messy version of something longer. There's no pressure to format or finish; just type and watch the count climb. Crucially, nothing you write here is saved or uploaded. The counter reads what's in the box and reports the numbers, but it doesn't store your notes between sessions or send them to a server, which makes it a safe place for private thoughts and unpolished drafts. Paste in older notes to measure them too, or clear the box and start fresh whenever you like.

## How it works

1. **Enter Text** — Type or paste the text you want to analyze
2. **View Stats** — See word count, character count, and more instantly
3. **Track Progress** — Watch counts update in real-time as you edit

## Use cases

- **Journaling**: Keep a daily entry and hit a gentle word goal as you write
- **Meeting Notes**: Jot down notes and see at a glance how detailed they've become
- **Idea Drafts**: Brain-dump rough drafts and watch the length build before you refine
- **Study Notes**: Track how much you've summarized from a lecture or chapter

## Tips

- **Count While You Jot**: The total grows line by line, so you can keep writing notes without stopping to tally.
- **Nothing Is Saved**: Your notes aren't stored between sessions — copy anything you want to keep before you leave.
- **Daily Journal Targets**: Setting a small word goal, like 250 words a day, is easy to track with a live count.
- **Measure Old Notes**: Paste an existing note or entry to see how long it ran without retyping anything.

## FAQ

### Does this save my notes?

No. The counter reads what's in the box but doesn't store your notes between sessions, so copy anything you want to keep.

### Are my notes uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything is counted in your browser, which keeps private notes and journal entries on your own device.

### Can I count words as I write rather than after?

Yes. The tally updates live with each line, so you can keep noting without pausing to count.

### Can I paste notes I wrote earlier?

Of course — paste any existing note or entry and its counts appear right away.

## Problems solved
