TextMeter

TextMeter doesn't score or grade. It counts, and shows you exactly how. Entirely offline, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

TextMeter is a fast, offline text analysis tool for readers, writers, editors, researchers, and nerds in general.

Most "readability" tools either hand you a flawed grade-level ranking or a highly editorialized LLM-based answer that will never reply the same way twice. TextMeter simply counts. But as it turns out, counting can be quite a powerful thing.

Some of What TextMeter Counts

Vocabulary — how common or rare the vocabulary used in your document is, ranked against a research-driven list of the 31,000 most common English words.

Phrasing — what parts of speech the words fall into, the phrases a document returns to, and the words its sentences begin with.

Sentences — see how long sentences are, and whether there are extreme outliers.

Three Promises: The same document and the same version give the same result, every time. TextMeter doesn't score or grade. The data is the data. The judgements are yours. Every figure has an explainer saying exactly how it was arrived at, so you can be confident about what the app is doing.

Analysis runs entirely on your device: no account, no advertising, and no tracking. A full-length novel takes seconds. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

All analysis features are free. A one-time purchase — no subscription — adds history for more than one analysis, iCloud sync, batch importing, and CSV export.
