Built the way a text tool should be
Other sites send your text to a server, cap the free tier and wrap the result in ads. We do none of that, because the work happens on your device.
Nothing is uploaded
Text is processed by your browser. There is no server, so contracts, cover letters and private notes never travel anywhere.
Instant, even offline
Every result appears as you type. Once a page has loaded it keeps working without a connection.
Shows its work
Counts, highlights and reports tell you exactly what was found and what changed. Nothing is hidden behind a spinner.
No account, no limits
Free with no sign-up, no word cap, no ads and no nag to upgrade.
Common questions
What does the cleaner fix?
Markdown symbols from chat assistants, em and en dashes, curly quotes and ellipses, invisible characters such as zero-width and non-breaking spaces, citation markers like [1] and the hidden cite codes ChatGPT leaves behind, and Cyrillic or Greek letters posing as Latin ones. Emoji, HTML tags, accents and punctuation can be removed too. Each has its own switch, and your words are never changed.
Can I keep the formatting instead of removing it?
Yes. "Copy with formatting" turns the markdown into real bold, headings, lists and tables on the clipboard, so pasting into Word, Gmail, Docs or Notion keeps the structure while the dashes, quotes and hidden characters are still cleaned.
Is my text uploaded?
No. myowntext is a static website; every tool runs inside your browser. You can load a page, go offline, and keep using it.
Is it free?
Yes, with no account, no word limit and no ads. The only downloads are the pages themselves and, on the image to text tool, the recognition engine.
Does it change my words?
No. The tools clean characters and formatting; sentences stay exactly as you wrote or pasted them.
