About Line Numbers
Line Numbers was built for the moment you just need to handle text and data formatting and move on — no signup, no upload to a third-party server. Built to be the kind of tool you bookmark and use weekly: no surprises between visits, no degraded free tier, and a UI that gets out of the way. Like everything else in the text collection, it is free, ad-light, and works on mobile as well as desktop.
