Adverb finder.

What it does. Lists the adverbs in your text, led by the -ly words that most often mark an unnecessary one.

How to use it. Paste the section and test each adverb: if the verb is right, the adverb is usually decoration - ran quickly is asking to be sprinted. Keep the ones that change the meaning; cut the ones that only add breath.

Why it matters. Adverbs are how first drafts hedge. The verb-plus-adverb pair almost always hides a stronger verb, and finding it upgrades the whole sentence.

Your data. The tool runs entirely in your browser - text you paste never leaves the page, and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Good to know

Dialogue tags are the classic exception - she said quietly carries information that sprinted cannot. Fix the narration; let people talk the way they talk.

Where this fits

Analysis tools put numbers where a writer's blind spots live: the sentence you always write, the word you lean on, the reading level you drifted into. The number is never the verdict - it is the pointer. Read each flag in its sentence, keep what is deliberate, fix what is not.
