Count words, characters, and more right from your menu bar.
Word Count: Menu Bar gives you instant text statistics right from your menu bar. No need to open a full word processor just to check how long your text is.
Paste or type any text and get a complete breakdown:
- Words — total word count
- Characters — with and without spaces
- Sentences — sentence count
- Paragraphs — paragraph count
- Reading time — estimated minutes to read
How it works: Click the menu bar icon to open a clean, minimal popover. Paste your text or type directly. All stats update instantly as you type. You can also enable auto-paste to automatically count text from your clipboard.
Word Count is designed to stay out of your way. It lives in your menu bar, uses no dock icon, and opens with a single click. When you're done, click away and it disappears.
Features:
- Instant word, character, sentence, and paragraph counts
- Estimated reading time
- Auto-paste from clipboard option
- Full dark mode support
- Lightweight — uses minimal system resources
- No account required, no internet needed
- Your text stays on your device
Perfect for writers, students, bloggers, copywriters, and anyone who needs quick text stats without the bloat.
Word Count is part of Good Bar — a collection of quiet, focused menu bar tools for your Mac. Each app does one thing well.
