How they work

Each tool does its calculation in your own browser, as soon as you type or paste. Nothing is sent, stored or shared. When you close the page, what you typed is gone; to keep the result, use "Save to a note" and it becomes an AnotPad note, with an address of its own that you can open on your phone and computer.

To combine tools, copy the result of one and paste it into the next: for example, remove extra spaces, then duplicate lines and finally sort the list.
