Utilities
FAQ
- Is my text uploaded?
- Not by default. Matching runs with the browser RegExp engine; drafts and history stay in localStorage on this device.
- Which regex dialect do you support?
- JavaScript RegExp only (including flags you enable). We do not pretend to support PCRE, .NET, or POSIX dialects.
- Can I use it offline?
- Yes. After you visit a tool once, the PWA can serve it offline from the browser cache.
