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

Are lowercase percent-sequences handled?
Yes — %c3%a9 decodes exactly like %C3%A9.
Is + decoded as a space?
No — + stays literal, matching URL-path decoding semantics; form-style %2B is the honest way to send a plus.
What if a sequence is malformed?
An invalid % sequence raises a friendly inline alert and the result panel stays empty.
Local only?
Completely — decoding never touches the network.
