X/Twitter posts (280), SMS messages (160 characters per single segment), SEO titles (around 60 characters before truncation in search results), and meta descriptions (around 160 characters). The character count used for every limit includes spaces.
No. Counting runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type or paste is uploaded, logged, or stored.
