Simple Mobile Word & Character Counter

Our simple mobile word and character counter is designed for writers who care about speed, clarity and privacy. The interface keeps the main numbers—0 words, 0 characters to start—together on one line so you can verify length without scrolling or hunting for metrics. Beneath that, lightweight chips report sentences, paragraphs, a rough pages estimate, and quick timing for reading and speaking. Everything runs locally in your browser, so drafts never leave your device and the tool keeps working offline after the first visit.

The editor respects mobile ergonomics. A minimum font size prevents the zoom jump that some phones trigger on focus, while the header stays compact so more of your text remains visible. You can tap anywhere in the blue header or in the white editor panel to start typing. Undo and redo sit next to a clear button, and the case tool cycles through lower, UPPER, Title and Sentence case for quick cleanups. The A+ and A− buttons resize the editor text on the fly, which is handy for proofreading on small screens or for squeezing a long paragraph into view.

Counting follows practical rules used by platforms and editors. A word is any token separated by whitespace, so numbers and hyphenated terms count as words. The character total includes spaces and punctuation because most submission forms and SEO snippets measure that way. Sentences split on periods, exclamation points and question marks; when a block contains no punctuation, the counter treats it as a single sentence to avoid zero-division errors in readability math. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines, and pages are estimated at three hundred words per page, which mirrors many academic and publishing guidelines.

Open the Options card to tailor the experience. You can enable a small “lines” chip for poetry or script work, surface unique words with a quick type–token ratio to gauge vocabulary variety, and toggle simple counts for emoji, numbers and punctuation. URL and email detection helps when drafting bios, link lists or outreach templates. Readability tooltips add Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid Grade, SMOG and Gunning Fog—calculated purely in the browser using sentence length and estimated syllables. Set your preferred reading and speaking speeds to match the audience; the timing chips update instantly as you type.

Goal mode fills the tiny progress ring beside the header. Choose words or characters and add a target—for example five hundred words for a blog draft or one hundred characters for a product title. Limit mode provides structure when a platform has a hard cap. Select a preset such as Tweet, YouTube title, or Meta description, or define a custom limit. Use a soft limit to keep writing while the tool shows how much space remains, or switch to a hard limit to prevent overflow and keep every draft within spec.

Accessibility and international text are first-class citizens. If your content contains right-to-left characters, the editor switches direction automatically so the caret and punctuation behave naturally for Arabic or Hebrew. Keyboard shortcuts speed up common actions on desktop, while touch targets remain large enough for thumbs on phones. Because there are no external requests or trackers, the word counter is fast even on older devices and reliable on slow connections. It is a focused, privacy-friendly utility for accurate word counts, character counts, sentence and paragraph totals, and quick readability and timing—ideal for social posts, product copy, essays, press releases and study notes.
