Frequently asked questions

Does it keep the original order?
Yes. The first time each line appears is kept exactly where it was, and only the later repeats are removed. This is different from sorting and deduping, which would reorder everything; here your list stays in the order you pasted it.
What does the case-sensitive toggle change?
With case sensitivity off, "Apple" and "apple" count as the same line and only one is kept. With it on, they are treated as different lines and both survive. Choose based on whether capitalisation is meaningful in your data.
Are blank lines and spacing handled?
You can trim leading and trailing spaces before comparing, so lines that differ only by stray spacing are treated as duplicates. Blank lines can be kept or collapsed depending on the option you pick, so the result is as tidy as you want.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is read and processed on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored. Once the page has loaded, it keeps working even if you go offline.
