Tally - Word Counterp/tally-9John G

23d ago

👋 Hello world

Hey everyone, I know this is a small project, but if you're looking for a better word counting tool, perhaps you'll find this useful.

I created the first version of Tally in high school because I couldn't find a good character counter with a dark mode. I've added a bunch of cool features over the years like themes, multilingual support, and additional stats. If you're at all interested in the journey, I wrote an article about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ta....

Tally doesn't have any ads or require signing up. It's also free and open source. There's no catches here; I made Tally to help me write better. I hope it helps you too :)
I'm also launching this on TinyLaunch, so if you feel like upvoting it there as well, I'd greatly appreciate it: https://www.tinylaunch.com/launc....

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Tally - Word Counter - 🧮 Fast, multilingual word counting — open-source & private

Tally is a free online tool to count the number of characters, words, paragraphs, and lines in your text. It can also show counts for different types of characters and runs entirely in your browser, with no accounts, ads, or privacy-invasive tracking. Unlike many tools, it supports multiple languages, computes counts in real-time, and offers a modern, themeable interface (including dark mode). Since the project is FOSS, you can easily verify its functionality or even self-host your own instance!
