Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded — we couldn’t read it if we wanted to.

WordTally saves three things in your browser’s local storage: the text you’re working on, so it survives a refresh, your light or dark theme choice, and the random analytics identifier described below.

Apart from the analytics identifier, that data lives only on your device. It’s not sent to a server, and it isn’t shared between your devices or browsers.

There’s nothing to sign up for, and no third-party trackers, advertising pixels, or cookies. We count usage on our own self-hosted analytics: pages visited, tools used, your browser and operating system type, and your approximate location (country and city, estimated from your IP address — the address itself is never stored).

To tell returning visitors apart, a random identifier is kept in your browser’s local storage. It says nothing about who you are, and clearing this site’s data removes it. If your browser sends Do Not Track, we don’t count you at all.

Use “Clear text” to empty the counter, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings to remove everything at once. Gone means gone — there’s no copy anywhere else.
