The writer's toolbox.
Words first.

Ten utilities for drafting, editing and submitting prose. Counts, case, citations, tidy. All local, no upload of your unpublished work.

Your manuscript stays on your machine. Always.

Most editing software bills you yearly to do twenty things you do not need. The shortlist below covers the boring small ops that actually move a draft forward: counting, deduplicating, fixing case, repairing line breaks. Free, fast, no account.
