Count line frequency
Count how often each line/value occurs and rank them from most to least frequent. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
About this tool
Count line frequency tallies how many times each line (or value) appears in
your text and ranks them from most to least frequent — the browser equivalent
of sort | uniq -c | sort -rn.
Paste a list — log lines, survey answers, tags, URLs, words — and get back each distinct value with its count, plus the number of distinct values and the total.
- Case sensitive (default on): turn off to group
Apple/appletogether (the first-seen casing is shown). - Trim whitespace (default on): ignore leading/trailing spaces; blank lines are always skipped.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly — your text is never uploaded to a server. You can also run it from the gizza CLI or inside a gizza chat (which return the counts as structured JSON).
Common uses
- Find the most common error in a log dump.
- Tally votes / survey responses / tags.
- Spot duplicates and how often they repeat.
FAQ
How are ties ordered when two values have the same count?
Ranking is by count, highest first; values with equal counts keep the order they were first seen in your input. So if b appears before a and both occur twice, b is listed first.
What does turning off "Case sensitive" actually show?
Lines are grouped by their lowercased form, so Apple, apple, and APPLE count as one value — and the result displays the first casing it encountered (Apple in that example).
Are blank lines counted?
No — blank lines are always skipped, even with Trim whitespace off. Turning trim off only makes x and x count as different values; a line of pure whitespace still counts as blank when trim is on.
Can I get the counts as data instead of text?
Yes. The page shows a count → value table, but the same tool via the gizza CLI or chat returns structured JSON with each entry's value and count, plus distinct and total figures.
