Word Counter Pro is the ultimate writing statistics tool for Mac. Whether you’re a student, author, editor, translator, or legal professional, this app gives you immediate access to detailed counts of words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and more.
Just paste your text or open a file and have Word Counter Pro watch it to report live changes. It’s fast, lightweight, and beautifully designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. You can also get stats for your selected text in practically any app using the "Get Stats from Word Counter Pro" macOS Service.
Key Features:
•Live word, character, sentence, paragraph, and line counts
•Analyze multiple files in a single operation
•Export stats for documents to separate files on disk
•Supports plain text, rtf, docx, and other common formats
•Ideal for writers, students, professionals, and teams
Word Counter Pro also allows you to apply custom settings. Some of the custom settings you can specify include:
-Setting a custom page size for measuring line count. For accuracy, Word Counter Pro calculates the line count by measuring against a particular page size.
-Changing the left and right margin of the custom page size, which also will impact the line count.
-Enforcing a minimum number of sentences required for paragraph count. Most word processing software will incorrectly count titles and lines of text in headers as paragraphs, even though they are not part of the body of your document. Requiring a certain number of sentences per paragraph can result in a more accurate paragraph count, since dangling words are not counted as paragraphs.
Word Counter Pro allows you to view stats in six different ways: 

1. You can type or paste text in the window. 

2. You can drag and drop a supported text file to the window.

3. You can have Word Counter Pro watch a supported text file as you edit it in another application. When Word Counter Pro is watching a text file, a popover will appear in the menubar displaying stats that will be updated as you write.

4. Use the Word Counter Pro Action Extension. You can use the Word Counter Pro Action Extension to get stats of selected text in any app that supports Action Extensions (like Safari).

5. Select the “Get stats from Word Counter Pro” menu item from the Services menu on your selected text in practically any app on macOS.

6. Select a rtf, rtfd, txt, or docx file in Finder and choose the “Watch in Word Counter Pro” menu item from the Services menu.
