About

Text Pro

Features
Read full description

Write, count, revise, and keep every draft in one focused workspace. Text Pro is a word and character counter with a focused writing editor. Use it for essays, captions, emails, reports, application forms, notes, and any text with a limit. Live statistics update as you type. Your texts and saved versions remain on your device. SEE THE DETAILS Live statistics include: Words, Characters with and without spaces, Paragraphs, Sentences, Reading, Average words per sentence, Readability, Unique words, and Average word length. SAVE EVERY DRAFT Create and rename separate texts. Search your history and restore a saved version. Text Pro saves a recoverable local version before you clear, import, paste, restore, or apply an AI edit. IMPORT, LISTEN, AND SHARE Import TXT, Markdown, DOCX, RTF, and PDF files that contain text. Imported files must be under 5 MB. Use Read aloud for selected text or the full draft. Share your work as a text file or PDF. FOCUSED EDITING Use undo, redo, copy, paste, and the standard iOS share menu. Ordinary writing, counting, statistics, history, drafts, and settings remain on your device. OPTIONAL AI, ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE Select an action: Polish, Proofread, Shorten, Summarize, Expand, Bullet points, Professional, Friendly, or Translate. Select a passage to use only that selection. If no text is selected, the action uses the full draft. AI suggestions appear separately and never replace your draft automatically. Compare the original and suggestion, show the changes, and decide whether to apply, copy, regenerate, export, or listen to the result. AI actions require an internet connection. Only the text submitted for the action is sent through Moruk's gateway. AI can make mistakes, omit details, or change nuance, so review every result carefully. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT Text Pro requires no account or sign in. There is no subscription, paywall, paid upgrade, or paid plan. An ad may appear when you open the app, and full screen ads may appear occasionally. Text Pro does not use banner ads.

Your words appear as you speak, transcribed right on your iPhone. Tap stop and it's saved. Want it in a project? Tap "new idea" while you talk and pick one. CATCH IT FROM ANYWHERE Run "Catch an idea" from Shortcuts, Siri or your Action button and plume opens already listening. DRAG IT WHERE IT BELONGS Hold the button while you talk and it turns into an orb. Drag it onto one of your projects and let go. The idea is filed before you've put the phone down. EVERY NEW IDEA IS A SPARK Drop an idea on "new project" and give it a name. plume picks the shape it reads like (a web app, a landing page, a logo, a short video — over a hundred shapes; change it if it guessed wrong) and fills in a prompt built for it. Copy it, paste it into Claude, start building. YOUR PROJECTS, CALM AND CLEAR Each project keeps its ideas in one place. When an idea is done, mark it and watch it drift away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Dictation runs on your iPhone, and your ideas live on your phone and in your own iCloud Drive. In English and Brazilian Portuguese.
