Why these tools exist

They are the small jobs that interrupt writing: counting words against a limit, fixing text that came out of a PDF with hard line breaks, flattening a list that has the same entry four times. Each one runs entirely in this page — your text is never sent to a server, because there is no server call to make.

If you do this sort of work away from a desk, the Wordpad Plus app does the same things on your phone, offline.

The same jobs, on your phone.

Wordpad Plus counts, formats, cleans and converts text offline — plus OCR scanning and PDF export.

Free on Google Play. No account to create — install it and start writing.
