Character Counter1.1 - App Store

Character Counter - Count characters, words, and more as you type!

Character Counter is the fast, beautiful way to count characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs in real time. Whether you're trimming a social post to fit a limit, hitting an essay word count, or polishing a caption, your totals update live as you write - no buttons, no waiting.
Just start typing or paste your text, and everything is counted instantly in a clean, full-screen writing area designed to keep you focused.
Know your writing inside out

Go beyond the basics with live English part-of-speech counts - nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and pronouns - so you can understand the shape of your writing, not just its length.
Never lose a draft

Version History automatically snapshots your text as it changes, so you can always go back. Gone off track? Rewind. Save important drafts manually, then preview, restore, or delete any version whenever you like.
Write your way

Make it yours with customisable colour themes - Auto, Light, Dark, Mint, Sepia, Beige, Purple, Night, and Forest - plus adjustable font styles (Sans Serif, Serif, Mono) and font sizes. Optional text persistence keeps your work waiting for you next time you open the app.
Built for how you work

Share text on its own or with the full counter stats attached. Copy, paste, undo, and redo are built right in. Handoff lets you carry on editing across your Apple devices, and a responsive design with Liquid Glass controls adapts to look great on every screen.
Perfect for writers, students, social media, notes, essays, captions, and quick text checks - Character Counter gives you the count you need and the tools to write better.
