Privacy: your text never leaves your browser

Every Toolflect Text Tool is 100% client-side. The moment you type or paste text, it is analyzed by JavaScript running inside this browser tab. Your text is never sent to our servers, never stored in a database, and never shared with any third party or AI service. Visit counting (see the note at the foot of this page) is separate from your text and never receives it.

  • No uploads, no accounts, no sign-up
  • Your text is processed locally in your browser and never stored.
  • Works offline once the page has loaded
  • Close the tab and your text is gone from memory

You can even verify it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and type into the tool — no request ever carries your text. You will also see the Google Analytics request that counts the visit; it carries a page view and never anything you typed, and no cookie or identifier is stored until you accept analytics.

Frequently asked questions

Which markup is supported?
Common HTML (tags, style/script blocks, named & numeric entities) plus everyday markdown: headings, bold/italic, inline code, strikethrough, blockquotes, lists, links and images (kept as alt text).
Will JavaScript in pasted HTML run?
No — script/style blocks are removed as text, never executed. Output is pure plain text.
Is my content uploaded?
Never — all stripping happens locally.
Does it keep paragraphs?
Whitespace is normalized to tidy single-spaced paragraphs with blank-line gaps.
