• Clean Text alternative / text tools to auto strip most formatting from copied text? (preferably free / low cost)

  So I know there's things like PurePaste (which I use), and TRex (auto-ocr screenshotted area, it's fantastic). But those work best for short shorter snippets. Source: 7 months ago

• Maccy 0.26

  There is a wonderful Pure Paste application by u/sindresorhus that strips formatting from copied content. Maccy is now fully compatible with it and ensures that the recorded copies take into account modifications made by Pure Paste. Source: about 1 year ago

  I have an app on my computer (Pure Paste) that can strip formatting from any paste job, and I've found that helps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Your best recommendations for apps, which are not broadly known.

  You may also like my similar app Pure Paste. It handles more edge-cases, keyboard shortcuts, exclude certain apps, and it has a bonus feature to remove tracking parameters from URLs. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Who decided copy+paste should copy styling/formatting?

  Yea it’s annoying more often than it’s useful. As always, there’s a macOS app for that: https://sindresorhus.com/pure-paste. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Handy utility applications for macOS

  Pure Paste: Default to pasting as plain text only without formatting, or alternatively set up a shortcut to paste as plain text. Helpful when the built-in paste and match style thing sometimes preserves things like links and formatting, when I just want plain text. Source: about 2 years ago
