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.

  • No uploads, no accounts, no sign-up
  • No cookies or tracking of your text
  • 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 — the only requests you will ever see are this page's own static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Nothing you type is ever transmitted.

Frequently asked questions

What does NFC mean?
Canonical composition: precomposed forms like é replace the decomposed e + combining-accent pair, so string comparisons behave predictably.
Why remove zero-width characters?
Invisible U+200B/U+200C etc. cause hidden string-mismatch bugs, paste-poisoning attacks and broken JSON keys.
Are smart quotes always converted?
Yes — curly quotes, apostrophes and French/German variants map to straight ASCII ones.
Does it alter my language?
Never — composition and cleanup are character-preserving in meaning; Arabic and other scripts pass through intact.
