Cliché detector.

What it does. Flags common cliches and worn phrases - the expressions readers skip because they have met them a thousand times.

How to use it. Paste the draft and judge each flag: replace the phrase with what you actually mean, or keep it where the cliche is doing deliberate work, usually in dialogue or a joke.

Why it matters. Cliches arrive pre-faded. A mechanical sweep finds the ones your own reading eye has gone blind to - which is all of them, eventually.

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

The list covers the well-worn phrases, not fresh ones - your own pet phrase will not be flagged because nobody else has worn it out yet. Word-repetition-checker is the tool for that.

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.
