List Frequency Counter
Count how many times each line appears in a pasted list
Paste a list, one item per line, and count how many times each distinct line appears, sorted by count or alphabetically, with options to trim whitespace and ignore case. Runs entirely in your browser.

What this tool does
Word Frequency Counter tallies individual words in prose; this tool tallies whole lines instead, which is what you need when the input is already a list — email addresses from a form export, SKUs from a spreadsheet column, or names from a sign-up sheet — and duplicates should be counted rather than described in a sentence.
How to use it
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Turn on Trim whitespace or Ignore case if the list needs it.
- Switch between By count and A-Z to change the sort order of the results.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my list uploaded anywhere?
- No. Counting happens in JavaScript running in the page, so nothing you paste ever leaves your device.
- How is this different from the Word Frequency Counter?
- The Word Frequency Counter splits prose into individual words. This tool treats each full line as one item, so "New York" and "new york" can be counted as a single repeated item instead of two separate words.
- What does Ignore case do?
- It folds "Apple" and "apple" into the same count while still displaying the first spelling it saw, which is useful for lists typed by more than one person.
