Description:

How many times have you pasted some text into an email and ended up with a mess of different font sizes?

Pure Text lets you paste as plain text by default. It sits in the menu bar and clears formatting (fonts, colors, bold, links, tables, etc.) from the text you copy. However, it does not touch unrelated content like files, images, etc. It also ignores content copied from password managers.

You can also choose to manually clear formatting whenever needed instead of automatically.

The app is free without ads because I love making apps. Consider leaving a nice review.


■ Features

- Automatically clears formatting
- Global keyboard shortcut
- Hide menu bar icon
- Launch at login
- Exclude certain apps
- Shortcuts support


■ FAQ

‣ Why not just use the “Paste and Match Style” menu item or “⌘⌥⇧V”?

That menu item is not available in all apps. The keyboard shortcut is hard to remember and type. And Pure Paste can exclude certain apps.


■ Privacy

Pure Text accesses your clipboard but does not store or send it anywhere. It is not even able to connect to the internet due to self-imposed restrictions that are enforced by macOS (no network entitlement).
