About glyphcount

glyphcount is a small set of text tools — word counters, diff, encoders, cleaners — that all share one rule: your text never leaves your device.

I am Nan Liang, an independent developer. I built glyphcount after one too many freelance invoices where my word count and the editor's word count disagreed — because Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and WordPress genuinely count different things as "a word". This site makes those differences visible instead of pretending they do not exist.

Every tool on this site runs entirely in your browser. There is no server that receives your text, no ad network watching what you paste, and no account system. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and use any tool — the only requests are the page itself.

I also write about building small, independent web projects at javaeye.dev.
