Free Browser-Based Writing Tools You'll Actually Use
A tour of the free, in-browser tools that beat installed software for most day-to-day writing tasks.
Why browser tools win
Installed software has one big advantage — it works offline — and a lot of disadvantages: updates, licences, syncing, cross-device drift. For most text tasks, a browser tool wins on speed and simplicity.
Browser tools also solve the privacy problem when they run locally. The Text Tools Hub set processes everything in the browser, so 'in the cloud' doesn't mean 'on a server somewhere'.
