Field notes
The Options panel controls case, blank-line, and whitespace handling, and accepts one regular expression per line for exclusions; presets cover dates and times, GUIDs, hex values, and numbers. The page also exposes file-oriented workflows for Word, Excel, PDF, and images, alongside exports including HTML, PDF, and .patch. A local history is available, while the site says account saves are encrypted in the browser before upload.
