Full applications, then small tools that run in your browser. For those tools the work happens on your own device: they cannot send anywhere what you type into them.
- Local tools sandboxed in the browser
- Miracle keeps your figures on the server, with an account
- Free, with no invented numbers
Write and track
Applications
Two full applications. Miracle has an account and keeps your figures on our server so they can be tracked over time. Manuscript runs entirely on your device, with nothing to install.

Open the toolOn your deviceWord counter
Count, measure and review your text without sending it
Words, characters, pages, reading time, KDP spine, writing goals, words per chapter, repetitions and readability — without your text leaving your device.

What stays on your device
The small tools run sandboxed in your browser. They cannot read your KNPLIV sign-in, nor send in the background what you type into them: they cannot send anything over the network. At most, a tool loads a fixed module from knpliv.com (TEMPO's text reading, for example), which then runs on your device.
Miracle is different: it has an account and keeps your imported reports on our server, so you can come back to them. The figures come from your own files, in your own currency.
