Why privacy matters for text tools

Users may paste application text, coursework, client notes, passwords or private drafts into utility tools. The safest experience is to process as much as possible in the browser.

Calculatorz text utilities should be written so the task happens locally in the user’s browser wherever possible. That is especially important for the Word Counter, Character Counter, Readability Score Checker, Password Generator and QR Code Generator.

These tools are for practical convenience. They should not replace professional editing, security advice or accessibility testing where those things matter.
