What is this?

Line Counter tells you exactly how many lines your text contains — total, non-empty and unique — and can prefix each line with a number.

How it works

The tool splits your text on line breaks and reports the counts live. Enabling line numbers adds a padded index in front of every line so the columns stay aligned.
