Its helpful and a very good app but we still need undo button so when we clear the words by mistake, we can easily retrieve them back. Thank you.

I think this app is very good and practical. it only works in chrome and edge, so take note that you can use that little pop window there in the background and you can still browse your own favourite internet browser.
