Notejoy shows the current note's word count in real-time as you type in the editor.
To enable word count, select Word Count from the note actions menu in the top-right corner of a note.

When you select text in the editor, it'll automatically update to show you the word count of just your selected text.
If you click on the word count, you'll get a menu that shows you the character count as well. You can click on the character count to instead see that in the bottom right corner.
