Your data lives on someone else's server
The Writer's Knife is the answer
Every document you upload, every query you make, every draft you write gets stored on servers you don't control. Cloud tools mine your work for training data, sell usage analytics, and expose you to breaches. Offline tools run entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your machine.

The Writer's Knife puts five essential writing utilities into a single HTML file that works offline, forever. Count words and characters with reading/speaking time estimates, analyse readability with Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, and Coleman-Liau scores, score your headlines for emotional impact, preview Markdown in real time, and transform text between cases — all without an internet connection.
