"Big thanks for Clipcounter!
My wife (grad student) will
probably bake cookies for you."

Often, we have to write things to a word limit but for quick drafts perhaps not open a proper word processor, preferring something nimble like TextEdit, but at the expense of a word count. Clipcounter solves this and many other issues by providing a universal word count, and quickly showing the user detailed information about the contents of their clipboard.

The current version (1.1) features:

Character, word and paragraph counts free of charge
Alphanumeric character count, average characters per word, average words per sentence and an ARI readability index all available for just $2.50
Live updating - leave it open and when you copy something new it shows a new count without any action needed from you

Download (Requires Mac OS 10.4 or later)

One registration works for every user of the registered computer, and is transferrable by us if you get a new computer. It is not guaranteed that Clipcounter will work alongside other clipboard utilities.
