What it does

Count paragraphs in any text, with average word count per paragraph and a live outline that shows the first few words of each. Useful for long-form writing where structure matters — blog posts, essays, and reports with a target paragraph count.

Combine with sentence counter, reading time estimator, and word counter to get a complete view of a draft before you publish.
