// How it works

Three steps. Zero uploads.

01
Paste
Drop your text into the editor. Type directly or paste from anywhere.
02
Count
Characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs are counted instantly as you type. No button to press.
03
Use
Check your count against platform limits — Twitter, Google meta descriptions, essay requirements. Copy and go.
// Why this is different

Your text stays in your browser.

Most character counters send your text to a server to process it. Some even run ads based on what you paste. fwip counts everything locally in your browser. Your text is never transmitted, stored, or analysed by anyone.

fwip works differently. The processing engine runs entirely in your browser. Your text is read from your device, processed on your CPU, and the result is saved back to your device. No server is involved. We literally cannot see your file.

No server processing

Everything runs on your device using WebAssembly. Your file never touches a network.

No account required

Drop a file. Get a result. No sign-up, no email, no password.

No subscription

Free in the browser. $99 once for the offline bundle. That's it. Forever.

Works offline

The desktop version works with no internet connection at all.

// What you can make

Use it free in your browser. Own it offline for $15. No subscription. No tracking. Yours.
