Can I filter lines with a regex?

Yes, use the include and exclude regex fields to keep or drop matching lines.

Is deduplication case-sensitive?

By default yes; enable the case-insensitive option to treat different casing as duplicates.

Can I download the result?

Yes, use the Download button on the output panel.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs, so your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored on our servers.

Does it work offline and on mobile?

Yes. Once the page has loaded it keeps working without a network connection, and the layout is responsive so it stays usable on phones and tablets.
