Frequently asked questions

How do I replace only whole words?

Turn on "Whole words" so that replacing "cat" won't change "category".

Can I use capture groups?

Yes. With regular expressions on, refer to groups as $1, $2… in the replacement.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type or open is sent to our servers.
