About
PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
See the exact word count and character count the moment you type or paste — and whether it fits your limit. Built for essays with a hard word limit, ad copy with a character cap, and writers chasing a daily word-count goal.
Most counters give you one number and stop. Word Counter counts the way Word does — "mother-in-law" is one word, an emoji is one character — and it counts Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Korean text correctly, so a Japanese paragraph never reports "1 word". Then it goes further: save drafts, set a daily goal, and watch your streak grow.
WHAT YOU GET
• Paste your essay and know in one second whether you're over the 500-word limit — words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and lines, live as you type
• A character count that matches reality: an emoji, an accented letter or a flag is ONE character, with Unicode scalar and UTF-16 totals for when a form counts differently
• "About 4 min to read, 6 min to speak" — reading and speaking time for any speech, presentation or article before you deliver it
• A 500-word daily goal with a progress dial, a Monday-to-Sunday chart and a streak that survives until the day is actually over
• Your most-repeated words surfaced automatically, so you catch the "actually" you used eleven times before your editor does
• Drafts saved on the device with search and share — open yesterday's chapter and keep the streak alive
PERFECT FOR
• Students trimming an essay or personal statement to an exact word limit
• Novelists and bloggers holding themselves to daily word-count goals
• Marketers fitting copy into ad, bio and social character caps
• Speakers timing a toast, lecture or presentation by speaking time
WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP?
Notes apps hide the count behind menus, count emoji and CJK text wrong, and know nothing about limits or goals. Here the numbers sit under the page while you type, every counting rule is spelled out in "How we count", and your daily target is tracked for you.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything is counted and stored on this device. No account, no upload, no tracking — your drafts never leave your phone.
